Omid is a second-year Ph.D. student from Iran in the Quantum Research Group at Stellenbosch University, supervised by Professors Francesco Petruccione and Ilya Sinayskiy.
He is interested in investigating quantum effects in biological systems, such as the magnetic effect in the Radical Pair Mechanism (RPM) or Vibrationally Assisted Tunneling, and its application in drug discovery, from the Open Quantum System approach and its implications in living systems. If you are interested in Quantum Biology read his Medium post here.
As a Qiskit advocate, he is also interested in applying Quantum Computing to solve interesting problems in Quantum Simulation, Life Sciences, and Chemistry. He is actively involved in promoting quantum computing, as a co-founder of QSouthAfrica and a core member of QIran he has organized many events in Quantum Computing like QBronze, QSilver, and QNickle.
Omid earned his BSc from the University of Guilan and his MSc from Isfahan University of Technology in Iran, both in theoretical physics.
He is a Physics and Math tutor with over 12 years of experience.
