Quantum Computing Researcher, Applied Quantum Systems @ MIT-CQE

Conducted applied quantum computing research in security-sensitive and NDA-bound environments, working across mathematical modeling, quantum algorithms, experimental design, prototype validation, and computational analysis.

Contributed to confidential research initiatives involving dual-use and mission-critical constraints, where technical decisions required careful treatment of correctness, reliability, security assumptions, and implementation feasibility.

Developed and evaluated quantum computing concepts, software prototypes, and experimental workflows using advanced mathematical and computational methods, with emphasis on translating theory into testable engineering artifacts.

Collaborated with researchers, technical teams, and institutional partners across quantum computing, applied research, and advanced technology contexts, while operating under strict confidentiality and controlled-disclosure requirements.

Taught, mentored, and supported students and colleagues in quantum computing and quantum mechanics through lectures, seminars, workshops, and one-on-one technical guidance.

This work deepened the mathematical and systems-level foundation behind my later focus on post-quantum cryptography, secure protocol design, cryptographic infrastructure, formal reasoning, and security-critical engineering.
