Hello.

I am Hersh Singh, a postdoctoral researcher in theoretical physics at Fermilab and the Fermilab Quantum Theory Fellow. As a high-energy physicist with an interest in computation, I am excited by the developments in quantum computing and its potential in advancing our understanding of nature at a fundamental level.
Prior to joining Fermilab, I held a postdoctoral position at InQubator for Quantum Simulation at the University of Washington, Seattle and the Institute for Nuclear Theory. I obtained a Ph.D. in Physics from Duke University (2014-2020) working on lattice and effective field theories with Profs. Roxanne Springer and Shaliesh Chandrasekharan, and Bachelor’s and Master’s in Electrical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology Madras (2009-2014), working with Prof. Suresh Govindarajan.
A complete list of my publications can be found on iNSPIRE or Google Scholar. My recent talks are listed here.
I thoroughly enjoy teaching and always seem to find opportunites to talk about things that I am excited about. During my PhD, I was awarded the Mary Creason Memorial Award for Undergraduate Teaching. I also taught a mini-course on Renormalization Group (Spring 2020, Duke University) for graduate students.
