Hey, I’m Pravin, a first-year graduate student at OSU. The intersection of the deterministic nature of computer science and the probabilistic world of physics has led me to immerse myself in quantum computing. I am particularly fascinated by experimental quantum computing, with a focus on neutral atom systems and quantum materials. 

During my undergraduate studies, I worked on a project where I implemented a 3D model of the Shastry–Sutherland Lattice (SSL) model to identify novel magnetic phases using Annealing techniques. Furthermore, I also studied a class of van der Waals materials to investigate skyrmion formation and evolution at Argonne National Laboratory. At Purdue, I also utilized Rydberg atom quantum computers to identify relevant data points for data reduction in machine learning. The robust features of Rydberg systems have especially captured my interest.

I am excited to continue exploring both the fundamental physics and the diverse methods for quantum computing as the field develops.
