She is among the 10 recipients of this honor who represent universities in the United States and Canada.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EDas is a third-year doctoral student in the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE). She is a member of the Memory Systems Lab, where she conducts research in quantum computing and is advised by ECE Professor Moinuddin Qureshi.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EQuantum computers can solve problems that are beyond the capabilities of conventional computers. Unfortunately, they suffer from extremely high error rates due to noise. Quantum computers can achieve fault-tolerance through quantum error correction, but near-term machines may be too small to afford the resource overheads required for the same and will most likely operate in the presence of noise.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EDas\u0026rsquo; research focuses on compiler- and system-level solutions to improve the reliability of near-term quantum applications and enable seamless access to quantum computers via cloud services. While near-term quantum computers are promising, designing fault-tolerant quantum computers can power a larger number of applications. She is currently exploring efficient micro-architectural solutions to design high-performance and scalable hardware designs required to detect and correct errors in fault-tolerant quantum computers.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EBesides improving the reliability of quantum computers, Das is also interested in emerging technologies such as superconducting logic and conventional computer architecture. Her research has been presented at IEEE\/ACM MICRO 2019 and at ACM Computing Frontiers 2019, where she won a best paper award.
