$ Hello world!

Welcome to my website 👋🏽

I am Shanto, a PhD candidate in Physics (focusing on quantum hardware) at the University of Southern California ✌️

Since 2022, I have been having the time of my life deep in the quantum trenches at the Levenson-Falk Lab as a Graduate Research Assistant.

From August 2025 to August 2026, I was a Research Intern at Google Quantum AI, working on design, simulations and infrastructure needed for taping out quantum processors.

From May to August 2025, I was a Summer Research Intern at Quantum Elements Inc., where I helped build the calibration capabilities of the Constellation product and owned the development of the agentic AI system for automating measurement and calibration workflows for the Rigetti Novera Quantum Processor, built on the Quantum Machines ecosystem.

In 2021, I received my BSc in Applied Physics with minors in Math and Computer Science from Texas Tech University 🔴⚫️
