I am a sixth-year PhD student at Purdue University's
Department of Computer Science. My advisor is Prof. S. V. N. Vishwanathan. I also work very closely with Dr. Hartmut Neven of Google. I am interested in quantum information
processing and machine learning. My thesis work is focused on applying the
Quantum Adiabatic Algorithm to machine learning
problems.
