Bio
Hi, I’m Alexis — cofounder of an early-stage quantum chemistry startup. I’m passionate about using both conventional and quantum computers to simulate molecular systems, with the goal of unlocking new drugs and materials.
Outside of work, I enjoy cycling, watching films, and contributing to open-source projects.
Currently my blog focuses on chemistry and quantum science — from educational content to industry insights — though you’ll also find the occasional off-topic post sprinkled in.
Projects
Along with my friend Tim Weaving, we have developed an open-source python package called Symmer that allows people to study quantum problems using subspace methods. We welcome users to try it out! This project has been supported by a grant from the Unitary Fund
Background
I completed a quantum chemistry PhD in the Centre for Computational Science group (CCS) group at University College London (UCL).
I was then a postdoctoral fellow at Tufts University in the Quantum Information Quantum Computing (QIQC) group.
