Motivated by the vision of a global quantum internet, I am an undergraduate researcher at UMass Amherst exploring the cutting edge of quantum information science. My work spans quantum networking and distributed quantum systems, where I focus on designing and optimizing quantum repeaters, developing robust quantum memories, and investigating open quantum systems through reservoir engineering. I employ tensor networks to model quantum many-body dynamics, addressing decoherence challenges and incorporating quantum error correction to bolster reliability. By integrating theoretical insights, simulation tools, and system-level design, I strive to advance scalable and fault-tolerant quantum communication infrastructures. Ultimately, my goal is to bridge physical-layer discoveries with overarching network architectures, laying the groundwork for large-scale, practical quantum networks.
