STEM Research & Development
Honors researcher and developer at Oregon State University working across quantum computing, AI, and bioinformatics. Founder of NeurQL and QuARC, creating the bridge between scientific computation and discovery.
Academic Overview
I’m pursuing dual Honors Bachelor’s degrees in Computer Science (AI)and Biological Data Science (Computational Biology)with minors in Mathematics and Music Performance. My research focuses on quantum algorithm benchmarking, bioinformatics pipelines, and hybrid quantum–classical software development. I am currently beginning my Honors Thesis on quantum-inspired EEG modeling under Dr. Kevin Brown.
