​​

I am an Assistant Professor at the Centre for Quantum Engineering, Research and Education (CQuERE) at TCG CREST, working at the interface of theoretical condensed matter physics, quantum computing, and advanced quantum-simulation methodologies. My research combines rigorous many-body physics with modern computational approaches, including tensor networks, hybrid quantum–classical algorithms, and Quantum AI (Quantum for AI and AI for Quantum).

​​

Before joining CQuERE, I gained experience in quantum simulations, tensor network algorithms, hybrid QPU–HPC methods, and quantum-inspired machine learning through my work at the Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC) and Multiverse Computing in Spain. During this period, I developed high-performance tensor network simulators benchmarked against leading quantum processors, contributed to quantum-inspired neural network architectures, and participated in patent creation related to quantum circuit simulation and optimization.
 

My research focuses on advancing tensor network methods (MPS, PEPS, Flexible-PEPS), quantum circuit simulation and compression, and the development of scalable AI models using tensorized architectures. I aim to build computational tools that bring together quantum many-body physics, quantum technologies, and machine learning—enabling new possibilities in quantum chemistry, optimization, cryptography, and quantum materials research.
