Experience

University of Alabama in Huntsville

Graduate Research Assistant, Network Intelligence and Security Laboratory
Aug 2023 – Present · Huntsville, Alabama, USA

Conduct research on quantum machine learning, quantum noise mitigation, federated/distributed learning, and trustworthy AI for noisy and heterogeneous systems.
Develop adaptive ZNE, heterogeneous and personalized quantum federated learning, variational quantum sensing, probabilistic learning, and hardware-aware evaluation methods.
Build reproducible simulation and real-hardware workflows using Qiskit, PennyLane, Amazon Braket, PyTorch, Linux, GPU/HPC execution, and Rigetti superconducting QPUs.

Quantum Security Research Intern
Jan 2026 – Jun 2026 · Thuwal, Saudi Arabia

Developed a scalable hybrid quantum-classical learning framework for malware-family classification using supervised feature projection, fidelity-based quantum kernels, Nyström approximation, and multiclass ridge regression.
Evaluated the framework on 18,836 PE samples across 23 labels using repeated stratified splits, classical baselines, ablation studies, and statistical testing.
Validated quantum-kernel circuits on the Rigetti Cepheus-1-108Q superconducting QPU through Amazon Braket.
First author of Scalable Malware Family Classification Using Quantum Kernel-Based Machine Learning, currently under revision at IEEE Transactions on Dependable and Secure Computing (TDSC).

Game Developer
