Hello! I’m Marc. I’m currently a student researcher at Google Quantum AI. I just completed my undergrad at Northeastern University, and I’ll be starting my PhD at MIT this fall.

I’m excited about computing with quantum technologies to do cool things new things in AI!

I love startups, dancing, reading, jazz, film photography, learning exciting things, and sharing that excitement with others.

Currently

• 🏄‍♂️ Student researcher at Google Quantum AI, in Venice, CA!

Recently
