I am a professor of theoretical physics specialising in the discovery of quantum algorithms for the quantum information era. I have a proven track record in quantum algorithm design as co-discoverer of the Quantum Metropolis Sampling algorithm. I also have extensive experience in variational methods and their experimental implementation as co-author of one of the first analog variational quantum simulation algorithms. I am also an early innovator in Quantum Machine Learning. I am passionate about open science and science education. Contact me via Email for all inquiries and opportunities.
