About
My longstanding fascination for quantum information—rooted in my early studies in physics—makes me genuinely excited to apply for the Quantum Computing positions. I am convinced that my technical background, research experience, and industry-related engineering skills place me in an excellent position to contribute to the mission of the enterprises present on quantum.jobs.
During my PhD, I worked on quantum control of NV centers, a very promising branch for future applications of quantum computing. This research allowed me to build a deep understanding of solid-state qubits, quantum control techniques, and experimental challenges. I published in leading journals and became highly familiar with the demands and creativity required in cutting-edge research.
After completing my PhD, I broadened my skill set in industry roles that strengthened my software engineering and applied mathematics capabilities. As a software developer and later as a risk modeler, I deepened my expertise in statistical modeling and algorithmic thinking—skills that are highly useful for the design and analysis of quantum algorithms. Over the past seven years as a senior data scientist in a FinTech company, I have led end-to-end teams and delivered production-ready solutions in machine learning (e.g. predicting borrowers' behavior), natural language processing (e.g. understanding unstructured data), and graph neural networks (e.g. fraud detection).
Throughout my industry career, I have remained closely connected to developments in quantum information. I participated in DZ BANK’s trend lab on quantum computing applications in finance, attended international conferences, and led a project demonstrating the use of Fujitsu’s digital annealer (a quantum-inspired algorithm) for credit scoring. The latter experience strengthened my ability to translate quantum-inspired methods into real-world value—an ability I believe is highly relevant for the applied research environment described by the enterprises on quantum.jobs.
Beyond my technical background, I bring strong communication skills and experience mentoring students in ambitious research projects. I also speak several foreign languages fluently, which helps me collaborate effectively in international teams.
