ANDERSON J. PARK

Software engineer and Physicist

I earned dual B.A. degrees in Data Science and Physics from UC Berkeley. I bring hands-on experience in designing and deploying high-performance simulation tools, distributed computing frameworks, and robust data processing pipelines using Python, C++, Julia, and SQL.

My project portfolio includes scalable word count systems using Ray, machine learning pipelines with Qiskit and Pennylane, and interactive web tools for quantum research communities. I thrive in fast-paced, cross-disciplinary environments where clean architecture, data reliability, and meaningful impact are top priorities.

Ion Trap Engineering

My research in ion trap systems spans both theoretical and experimental work at UC Berkeley and Sungkyunkwan University.

At the Ion Trap Group under Professor Hartmut Häffner, I led the development of a continuous wave laser heating system designed to optimize deterministic ion loading for quantum experiments. I engineered cryogenic-compatible components, aligned high-powered lasers for fluorescence detection, and enhanced IonSim—a Julia-based simulation framework for trapped-ion dynamics—boosting its performance, modularity, and accessibility for future research.

In parallel, I collaborated with Professor Junki Kim at QuETI on developing a trapped-ion Hamiltonian simulator for a simplified spin-boson system. I built a Molmer-Sørensen gate simulator to track quantum state evolution and spin-motion entanglement over time—enabling more accurate modeling of gate-level interactions in ion-based quantum computers.

Quantum Computing KR

I lead Quantum Computing KR, a Korean-language community dedicated to making quantum computing more accessible to students, researchers, and professionals.

Through this initiative, I created structured educational resources and documentation in Korean, covering topics from quantum algorithms to Qiskit tutorials. I also organized in-person seminars and online events featuring guest speakers from academia and industry, helping foster cross-institutional collaboration and technical learning within the community.

The group continues to serve as a hub for over 700 members and growing, offering peer support, collaborative learning, and a central place for Korean-language quantum computing discussions.
