About

Hello, my name is Mohammad Sherazi. I recently graduated from George Mason University, where I studied physics and computer science. My professional interests lie in the fields of simulation engineering, computational modeling, and scientific computing. I plan on showcasing my passion for learning physics, computer science, and mathematics on this website.

In my spare time you can catch me working on side projects, watching basketball (go Wizards!), and throwing around a frisbee.

Research

During my time at George Mason University, I was an undergraduate researcher working on developing variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) for the simulation of quantum dynamics in open quantum systems. These algorithms were scaled for use on supercomputers, and further optimized using machine learning techniques. The main goal of this research was to create computational machinery that could help shed light on the time evolution of complex molecular environments, such as those found in biological systems.

Python was the programming language I primarily used during this time (Qiskit for implementing quantum circuits, MPI for parallelization, along with NumPy & SciPy), with occasional stints working with C++. The main project I worked on focused on simulating charge and exciton transfer processes in the condensed phase environment, and resulted in a published journal article (see below) which I co-authored. The code for this project can be found at this link.

What I'm Working On

Right now I'm learning quantum field theory for fun, my notes as of 03/04/2025 are available here.
