Namaste ! Greetings !
I am a Ph.D. candidate at Princeton University in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. I work in Professor Andrew Houck’s group (lab website) on superconducting qubits. We work on the complete stack of challenges in the quantum world ; from improving the coherence of the qubit to deploying qubits for simulating novel dynamics.
I work on the coherence challenge and tackle it in a multi-pronged way. Firstly, by implementing complex circuit designs such as fluxonium, zero-pi that show inherent protection from noisy environment. Secondly, by utilizing new superconducting material called tantalum which has better oxide properties that improves the qubit coherence. Thirdly, by creating novel circuit elements which demonstrate protective hamiltonians against the noisy decoherence channels.

Background :
I did my Bachelors and Masters in Engineering Physics from Indian Institute of Bombay with specialization in Nanoscience and a minor degree in Computer Science. If you are curious and want to know more about me, then you can find it here - my CV.
