PhD Student

Hi! I am a PhD student working on quantum information and quantum thermodynamics. Currently, I am based at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore as a part of In.Q group led by Nelly Ng.

My main research focus is the concept of 'catalysis' in quantum processes, which is analogous but not identical to its more famous relative, chemical catalysis. In essence, catalysis is a process where an additional system called catalyst can be used, with the constraint that it must recover its original state. Because of this recovery, the same catalyst can be reused for an indefinite number of times.

I am starting to broaden my research interests. I have been working on devising a dynamic programming approach of solving quantum recursions using circuits instructed by quantum states and exploring interplay of multiple resources. Check out my full list of publications in the Publications tab.

Besides physics, I am very passionate about films. To see my four favourites, check out my Letterboxd profile. To read my film reviews (published and unpublished) check out the Film Reviews tab.
