Muhammad Asaduzzaman (Asad) joined the Kemper Lab in 2025 as a postdoctoral researcher. He earned his Ph.D. from Syracuse University in 2022 and previously worked as a postdoc at the University of Iowa. His research focuses on improving ‘utility’ of the quantum devices to investigate condensed matter and high-energy physics (HEP) models. Currently, he is working on adiabatic state preparation, studying entanglement spreading and thermalization in different quantum systems.
