Aaron knew he excelled at math, physics, and chemistry, and particularly enjoyed physics, but it wasn’t until he took an introductory quantum mechanics course in his second year that he discovered quantum computing and was instantly fascinated. This realization led him to focus most of his upper-year electives on math and physics courses and to eventually pursue his education further in graduate school.
After researching graduate programs around the world, it was ultimately the reputation of the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) and the excellent fit he found with his supervisor professor Pierre-Nicholas Roy (Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Quantum Molecular Dynamics), that finalized his decision to come to Waterloo.
