About

My research area mostly focuses on machine learning for tuning and controlling semiconductor quantum dot systems. Specifically, I work with topics such as Bayesian statistics for optimising Hamiltonian parameter estimation, evolutionary strategies for automatic tuning of semiconductor devices and fast readout by radio-frequency reflectometry of spin qubits. This work is part of my PhD at QuSpin, being supervised by Prof. Jeroen Danon.

Competencies

  • Bayesian inference
  • Hamiltonian estimation
