RESEARCH AREAS
01 / SELECTED RESEARCH
These selected research contributions emphasize reproducibility, resource constraints, and decision reliability.
I investigate deadline-aware routing and scheduling for terrestrial quantum links supported by reconfigurable intelligent surfaces through the Quantum Reconfigurable Intelligent Transmission Architecture.
The architecture pairs slow path provisioning with deadline-aware scheduling. Reproducible IBM Quantum hardware experiments using IBM Qiskit Sampler record backend provenance across time-series, distance, and load sweeps and derive yield and compliance proxies for terrestrial links. These link-model studies do not constitute physical deployment of a network with reconfigurable intelligent surfaces or end-to-end network measurements.

I study a framework that separates an off-path variational quantum classifier from deterministic on-path policy enforcement for Tactile Internet services.
A 12-qubit, two-layer hybrid model implemented with PyTorch and PennyLane supplies off-path anomaly evidence to deterministic on-path zero-trust enforcement. Analytic quantum simulation evaluates aggregates derived from CESNET-TimeSeries24 using statistical anomaly labels across random, entity-group, and temporal holdouts.

I study how measurement cost affects decision stability by allocating additional quantum measurements to predictions near a decision threshold.
The validation-calibrated policy escalates through 128, 256, 512, and 1024 cumulative shots. Simulated finite-shot inference compares measurement cost and decision reliability against fixed-shot and matched-budget controls across leakage-safe holdouts.
Accepted for Publication and a Short Oral Presentation
This manuscript examines circuit and measurement resource accounting and finite-shot uncertainty. A PyTorch–PennyLane prototype evaluates off-path quantum anomaly evidence using aggregate network telemetry, with deterministic cached policy enforcement on the forwarding path.

03 / BIOGRAPHY
I conduct research in quantum networking, hybrid quantum machine learning, and cybersecurity.
My research connects reproducible quantum-network studies, hybrid quantum–classical learning, and cybersecurity. I study how unreliable links and limited measurements shape resource allocation and decision reliability, with explicit evaluation protocols and reusable research code.
At Iowa State University, I pursue a Master of Science in Computer Engineering and contribute through graduate research and teaching. My earlier cybersecurity engineering experience informs how I think about building and evaluating dependable systems.
