Hi, I am Sabin Thapa, a Physics PhD candidate at Kent State University (expected 2026). I work in theoretical and phenomenological high-energy nuclear physics, with a focus on quarkonium transport, suppression, and regeneration in QGP across RHIC and LHC systems.

My research uses semi-classical transport and open-quantum-system methods (including Lindblad evolution), supported by reproducible C++ and Python simulation pipelines. In parallel, I explore quantum computing for HEP (state preparation, adiabatic, and variational workflows for lattice gauge theory) and practical ML/AI support for scientific workflows.
