I already live in Pasadena, and while I don’t have formal computer programming experience outside of a few classes, I’ve been doing a large amount of computational work for my PhD in physics at USC on quantum computing, particularly data analysis and simulation. Lately my work has been mostly centering on machine learning with some applications to high energy physics, and I’ve been working at Caltech for a year now collaborating on that project with some of the researchers there. I’d love to hear more about it!
