Smriti Bajaj

I am a research scientist in applied quantum computing, exploring how quantum hardware can work alongside AI and high-performance computing(HPC) to solve complex problems. My work focuses on building tools, AI models and infrastructure that make hybrid quantum-classical workflows practical and scalable.

Before this, I started as a software engineer, learning how to build robust systems that can handle real-world demands. My curiosity about intelligent systems then led me into machine learning(ML), where I developed and improved models and pipelines. Each step of my journey, from software engineering to AI to quantum computing, has given me a broad perspective and the ability to bridge different areas of technology.

Today, I bring that breadth of experience to applied quantum research, turning advanced ideas into tools and products that are both usable and impactful. My achievements include publishing research papers and whitepapers, presenting at conferences, and ideating patents.
