PhD Student

CERFACS

November 2019 – October 2022 Toulouse

PhD performed in tri-partite collaboration between CERFACS, LIRMM and Total.

Research focused on quantum algorithms and their potential applications to any field of scientific computing. Particular emphasis made on PDE and linear algebra.

Summer PhD intern

Los Alamos National Laboratory

June 2021 – September 2021 New-Mexico (teleworking from Toulouse, France)

Highly selective program (summer school) of 10 weeks. Conducted a research project under the supervision of Carleton Coffrin, Marc Vuffray, Andrey Lokhov, Jon Nelson and Lukasz Cincio.

The school is organised by Patrick Coles, Lukasz Cincio, Yigist Subasi, Daniel O’Malley and Jamie Lattimore.

Research engineer

CERFACS

October 2018 – September 2019 Toulouse

Research focused on Hamiltonian simulation.

Implementation of a Hamiltonian simulation procedure using product formulas.
Implementation of a quantum wave equation solver.

Intern

CERFACS

February 2018 – July 2018 Toulouse

Performed a state of the art of the existing algorithms in quantum computing.

The goal of this internship was to start looking into quantum computing to figure out if this field might be interesting for CERFACS. Particular emphasis on CFD problems and more generally on PDEs.
