Lakshika Rathi
Princeton University
I am a Ph.D. student in the Computer Science department at Princeton University, advised by Prof. Margaret Martonosi. My primary research interests lie in Quantum Architecture and Systems.
I earned my Master’s in Computer Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I was part of the Quest Lab led by Prof. Swamit Tannu. There, I worked on developing software for neutral atom systems, studying classical parallelism and on finding the optimal mapping and routing for such systems. Additionally, I explored machine learning approaches for qubit readout and circuit benchmarking.
I hold a Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering with a minor in Computer Science from the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi. During my undergraduate years, I gained practical experience in quantum computing through internships at research labs and in industry, working on diverse problems.
