Jishnu Mahmud
I am interested in the intersection of intelligent systems and quantum information, with a focus on understanding and leveraging the structure of quantum systems.
Curriculum Vitae
About
I am Jishnu Mahmud, a lecturer at BRAC University and a research assistant under Dr. Shaikh Anowarul Fattah, at Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET). I earned my BSc in Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) from BUET, specializing in Communication and Signal Processing.
My research focuses on quantum information and computation, and I will be joining the University of Tennessee this autumn to pursue a PhD in quantum algorithms under the supervision of Dr. Rebekah Herrman and Dr. James Ostrowski.
