Academic Achievements
- All papers are available on the arXiv and Google Scholar (except for one); hosts the Topological Order on the Pacific Ocean (TOPO) workshop series.
Research Experience
- Joined the faculty in the School of Physics at The University of Sydney in 2025, part of the Quantum Science Group, with research focusing on the theory of quantum phases of matter and fault-tolerant quantum computing; worked as a researcher at PsiQuantum in early 2025, focusing on fault-tolerant quantum architectures; worked at IBM as a Research Staff Member in the quantum information theory and error correction group from 2024-2025, working on quantum error-correcting codes and fault-tolerant quantum computing; has been a DECRA fellow in the quantum theory group at The University of Sydney since 2021, working on Topological phases of matter for quantum computation; was a postdoc in Patrick Hayden's group at the Stanford Institute for Theoretical Physics from 2019-2021, working on quantum error-correcting codes inspired by topological phases, phase transitions, and holography; held a condensed matter theory postdoc position in Meng Cheng's group at Yale from 2017-2019, primarily working on unconventional fracton topological phases of matter.
Education
- Completed PhD in 2017 under the supervision of Frank Verstraete at the University of Vienna, focusing on developing the theory of tensor networks for the description of topological phases of matter; started honors and master's research in the quantum theory group at the University of Sydney from 2012-2013.
Background
- Australian theoretical physicist specializing in topological phases of matter and fault-tolerant quantum computing. Has a decade of research experience at the interface of quantum matter and quantum computing.
Miscellany
- Can be found on LinkedIn, Bluesky, Orcid, and Google Scholar; open to discussing his research or inquiring about joining his research group; CV updated as of December 2024.
