Dhanvi Bharadwaj

PhD student working on Quantum Computing Architecture

Hello! I'm a 2nd-year PhD student in CSE @ University of Michigan, advised by Dr. Gokul Ravi. My research combines Quantum Computing and High-Performance Computing (HPC) to push towards practical quantum advantage. I'm also a MICDE graduate fellow (2024 cohort).

I spent Summer 2024 at NVIDIA, where I worked on accelerating tensor network simulations for cuQuantum. Previously, I interned at the startup qBraid, profiling quantum circuits and benchmarking GPU-based simulations, and at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, developing quantum machine learning models and hardware-efficient circuits for complex datasets.
