Professional Experience
|
Research and Development Intern, Quantum Information Science
|
| Sandia National Laboratories |
October 2022 – September 2024 |
| Livermore, California (Remote) |
|
Software Development Intern
|
| NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory |
May 2022 – August 2022 |
| Pasadena, California (Remote) |
- Created a Docker/Podman container for the Lander Vision System (LVS) test software suite for use on high-performance computing and cloud computing systems in support of the Mars Sample Return mission.
- Integrated containerized test suite with Dakota, an open-source parametric analysis toolkit, enabling enhanced coverage of the LVS operational envelope using parallelized Monte Carlo simulations.
- Prepared materials for software inheritance review, tested changes in flight software prior to merges; led demos to educate colleagues on high-performance computing and containers; and patched multiple software packages to accommodate use in parallel computing environments.

Research and Development Intern, Quantum Phenomena
|
| Sandia National Laboratories |
May 2021 – May 2022 |
| Albuquerque, New Mexico (Remote) |
- Researched techniques to develop scalable, application-inspired benchmarks for quantum processors using block-encoded linear combination of unitaries (LCU) circuits and provided simulation support for that work, including creating reduced-qubit device-based noise models from calibration data.
- Completed literature review and created test environments for various quantum circuit simulators on high-performance computers for distributed, multithreaded, and GPU-accelerated software.
- Identified the most-performant simulators for integration in the Quantum Performance Lab's gate set tomography package, PyGSTi.
