Meet our scholars

At the nanoscale, nature behaves in fascinating - and often counterintuitive - ways. The weird and wonderful behaviour of things like atoms and electrons can be used to build powerful, new technologies - like quantum computers. I’m an experimental physicist at the University of Sydney, driven by the goal of building quantum computers to solve complex problems beyond the reach of even the most powerful supercomputers. I did my undergraduate studies and PhD at the University of Sydney, before moving to the US, where I worked as a post-doctoral researcher at Princeton University. In 2022, I returned to Australia to build my own research lab, where my research focusses on engineering new circuits (made from superconductors) to overcome the biggest obstacles to building quantum computers. Outside the lab, I love spending my time painting, hiking in nature, running and taking my labradoodle Rutherford for walks.
