About me

Hi Visitor! My name is Swarnadeep Majumder. I am a doctoral candidate at Duke University, where I work on different aspects of theoretical quantum information science. Specifically, my research focuses on developing new tools to characterize and mitigate noise in quantum processors to make quantum computers more reliable. When I am not doing science, I enjoy running, biking, soccer, yoga, meditation, and hiking. I also love photography (landscape and aerial mostly) and cooking healthy whole food-based ethnic recipes. I watch sitcoms, soccer, and college basketball.
