Tak Hur

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Waterloo. My research explores how machine learning can help us understand, use, and protect quantum systems.

I completed my PhD in Statistics and Data Science at Yonsei University in 2026. My work spans quantum machine learning, quantum error correction, and neural quantum states, with an interest in both theory and practical algorithms.
