Welcome to my professional website and blog!

I am a physicist, educator, and an architect and manager of R&D organizations. I am currently employed at QuEra Computing. On this page you can learn about my professional activities, academic and otherwise, as well as a bit about my personal interests which include Irish and Japanese oral traditions.

Also, don't miss the blogging section!
Browse it for news and discussions on physics, scientific management, entrepreneurship, and leadership. I may also not resist the eventual tidbit on sustainable lifestyles.
