Tommy (he/him) is a Verne M. Willaman Distinguished Graduate Fellow at Penn State. Working with Prof. Sarah Shandera in the intersection of quantum information, quantum cosmology, and quantum thermodynamics, Tommy is studying the dynamics of open quantum systems, with the long term goal of developing a quantum theory of cosmology. Tommy graduated Summa cum Laude from San José State University in 2022, with a B.S. in Physics and a minor in Mathematics. Outside of physics, Tommy enjoys political comedy, activism, piano, rock climbing, and scuba diving.
