I am interested in learning and optimization questions related to systems within the Natural Sciences.
Specifically, my fields of interest encompass Learning and Optimization of Noisy Black-Box Systems / Algorithmically-Guided Experimentation / Combinatorial Optimization, Mixed-Integer Programming and Benchmarking / Quantum Optimization and Quantum Control.
