About
I am a Predoctoral Fellow (SPARKS) in the Department of Computer Science and Automation at the Indian Institute of Science, advised by Prof. Sumit K. Mandal. I am concurrently pursuing a B.Tech. in ECE (Quantum Technology track) at PES University (Class of 2026).
My research centers on quantum complexity theory and the algorithmic aspects of near-term quantum computation. At IISc, I study how spectral graph theory—particularly expander constructions—can be used to optimize qubit connectivity and reduce circuit compilation overhead. Our work on coupling map design via Near-Ramanujan Graphs received the ACM SRC Bronze Medal at MICRO 2025.
For my undergraduate thesis, I worked with Prof. Kaustav Bhowmick on variational quantum algorithms for photonic quantum computers.
