Biography

My name is Jin-Peng Liu (刘锦鹏). I am a fourth-year doctoral student of AMSC program at University of Maryland, advised by Andrew Childs. I received NSF QISE-NET Triplet Award in 2021. I was a long-term visitor at Simons Institute in 2020.

Prior to that, I received my B.S. degree in Chinese Academy of Sciences Hua Loo Keng Class at Beihang University in 2017, supervised by Ya-xiang Yuan.

I aim to develop quantum algorithms with sup-polynomial speed-ups over classical algorithms, including topics such as quantum solvers for linear and nonlinear differential equations, quantum simulation, quantum optimization and machine learning, and quantum computational finance. I am also interested in classical algorithms for nonlinear optimization.
