Experience

Feb 2025 – Present β€’ DoQuantum UMD
Quantum ML Researcher
  • Purpose: Explore quantum-classical hybrid methods to enhance transformer attention efficiency and scalability.
  • Work: Designed a transformer attention module that delegates the query–key similarity computation to a quantum routine; integrated the subroutine into a PyTorch pipeline for end-to-end experimentation.
  • Impact: Validated feasibility of quantum-assisted attention on real quantum hardware, providing benchmarks for potential speedup and accuracy improvements.
