Professional Experience

Aradhika completed her B.Sc. (Hons) in Physics at Ramjas College, University of Delhi, India, and her M.Sc. in Physics from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras. During her Master’s thesis under the supervision of Prof. Siddharth Dhomkar, she worked on reinforcement learning approaches to quantum control, focusing on deep Q-learning methods for quantum state preparation in multi-qubit systems. She joined the Ph.D. program in Physics at the University of Oklahoma in Fall 2025. She joined the group in Spring 2026 and is excited to explore quantum computation for molecular and chemical systems. In her free time, she enjoys capturing nature through both her camera lens and her paintings.
