I completed my doctoral degree in quantum information science from the computer science department at the University of Southern California under the supervision of Dr. Todd A. Brun in 2010. I have simulated quantum error-correcting codes under realistic physical noise models and analyzed their performance through various channels. Dr. Todd Brun and Dr. Ruediger Schack co-authored a software package to simulate quantum trajectory equations. I later extended the software to include quantum operations with density matrices and a routine that solves the full Lindbladian master equation. If you would like to use the software to simulate interesting quantum information processing tasks, please feel free to e-mail me. With the help of Todd Brun I developed a theory of quantum steganography. My research interests vary from quantum Shannon theory, quantum error-correcting codes to quantum algorithms. In the past I worked in the Laboratory for Molecular Science with Dr. Leonard Adleman on self-assembly where I experimented with molecular biology lab techniques to generate DNA based nano-crystals to program two-dimensional arrays and other novel shapes. These efforts resulted in a couple of publications in the Journal of American Chemical Society. After my PhD stint at USC I started working at Shopzilla as a data scientist where I used information retrieval concepts such as tf-idf and web crawling technology such as Nutch to mine for data and analyze the quality of websites. I used programming tools such as Python and R during my tenure there. Most recently I worked at ID Analytics/Lifelock as a senior data scientist. I used machine learning algorithms to develop models that assessed the riskiness of a person's identity in the U.S. I worked on multi-channel attribution as part of Lifelock's marketing analytics efforts. I currently work at OpenX in Pasadena as a data scientist.
