Biographical Sketch

I am interested in complex quantum phenomena and most of my research to date has centered on topological band-structures and their potential usefulness for quantum information processing. In this context I have focused primarily on superconducting nanowires, which have been proposed as a way to trap and manipulate Majorana bound-states. Other related research topics include the role played by quantum resonances in driven chaotic systems, and the relationship between quantum error-correction and topological spin-models. Currently I am examining what are called strong-zero modes, and the possibility that they can be enhanced to robustly store quantum information at high temperatures.
