  Quantum Machine Learning Cybersecurity Healthcare Quantum Error Correction

• Brief description of your expertise / expertise you are looking for:

  My expertise lies in Quantum Machine Learning (QML) with applications across cybersecurity, cryptography, healthcare, and quantum error correction. I work at the intersection of artificial intelligence and quantum computing, developing hybrid models for secure data systems, post-quantum cryptographic protocols, predictive healthcare solutions, and advanced error mitigation strategies. I am also interested in interdisciplinary collaborations that extend these methods to applied domains, combining theoretical development with practical deployment.

• Brief description of your project / the project you would like to join:

  I am leading projects that explore the integration of QML techniques into cybersecurity frameworks, cryptographic systems, and healthcare analytics, with a particular focus on how near-term quantum hardware can be leveraged for real-world use cases. Another strand of my research is in quantum error correction and fault tolerance, where I investigate how machine learning can optimize decoding and reduce overheads. I would be keen to join or collaborate on projects that apply QML to address pressing challenges in data security, healthcare diagnostics, or quantum information processing, and that foster innovation through cross-disciplinary partnerships.
