Pranav Gokhale
I am a PhD student in quantum computation at UChicago. I am advised by Fred Chong. My research focuses on breaking the abstraction barrier between quantum hardware and software, with the aim of realizing practical applications sooner than otherwise possible. I am funded by the NDSEG and Eckhardt Fellowships.
