RESEARCH TOPIC
AI/ML quantitative assessment of cardiovascular disease using bioimpedance
The combination of my engineering and science research experiences,
coupled with my industry experience, has prepared me for advanced
graduate study that centers on interdisciplinary applications of machine
learning in the biomedical engineering fields. As a co-founder of the
Alabama Biosciences Research Institute, my contribution to previous
research work in emergency medical services has led to important
sanitization policy changes. I co-authored a follow-up Emergency Medical
Services studying the Assessment of Prehospital Monitor/Defibrillators for
Clostridioides difficile Contamination which was published in Cambridge
University Press. In recognition of my peer-reviewed research, I was offered
a research internship with DAAD RISE. Additionally, I am currently working
to develop a wearable, continuous, real-time bioimpedance and activity
monitoring embedded system for use in cardiovascular diagnosis. This
project, in collaboration between ABRI and the University of Alabama in
Huntsville, is a wonderful example of interdisciplinary work where I am
applying computer engineering and biological concepts to develop an
application that has the potential to provide real-time ambient intelligence
to medical professionals and save patients' lives.

RESEARCH TOPIC
Quantum Computing Hardware-Software Co-Design
We research the design of quantum computers for efficient and reliable operation. Our
previous work has focused on the design of qubit coupling topologies for a reduction in
data movement and an optimized selection of quantum instruction sets based on hardware
speed limitations. Our designs utilize Superconducting Nonlinear Asymmetric Inductive
eLement (SNAIL) modulators to enable high-degree couplings between qubits which
support parallelized quantum circuit execution. First, we proposed a quantum hypercubeinspired
" Corral " built from interconnected SNAILmodules.. The SNAIL natively implements
a powerful family of gates realized through photon exchange operations; however, there is
a practical speed limit that arises from the couplers' tolerance for strong driving when one
or more pumps are applied. Second, we proposed a method for selecting the best ratio of
parametric drives, considering both the theoretical computing power and practical speed
limits for each gate naturally realized by the system. Our proposed parallel drive technique
drives the modulator and qubits simultaneously, enabling a richer capability of two-qubit
basis gates and potentially eliminating single-qubit drive duration costs. This research has
the potential to improve the performance and reliability of quantum computers, especially
for scaling devices past the NISQ era.
