Kaavya Sahay

Kaavya previously obtained a B.Tech in Engineering Physics with a minor in computer science from IIT Delhi. Currently, she is a final year PhD student in Applied Physics at Yale, working with Shruti Puri. Her graduate research focuses on quantum error correction, specifically designing unconventional methods of logical computation with surface codes by considering hardware-aware noise models, measurement-based computation strategies, and nonlocality as a resource. In addition, she has developed tailored decoders for LDPC code families.
