Ali Javadi-Abhari

I am a second year PhD student in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Princeton University. I received my BSc degree from Sharif University of Technology in Iran in 2011.

Research

My research advisor is Prof. Margaret Martonosi at the Department of Computer Science. I am part of the Martonosi Research Group, where I work on quantum computer architectures and compilers.

I am interested in finding ways to correctly estimate and efficiently optimize resource requirements in quantum computers, specifically from the point of view of how quantum algorithms get expressed in computer programs and how they are translated into machine code. I work in collaboration with teams from academia and industry to explore these questions in a whole toolchain of quantum computer synthesis.

You can find my resumé here.
