👋 ToroData (Ricard Santiago Raigada García)

Physicist (MSc) | Data Scientist & ML Engineer | AWS Cloud Architect | Quantum Computing


About Me

I am a Data Scientist and Machine Learning Engineer with an MSc in Computer Engineering and an MSc in Advanced Physics. My background bridges theoretical physics and applied machine learning, with strong foundations in quantum mechanics, quantum optics, and information theory. My professional experience spans machine learning, deep learning, and data analytics, with a particular focus on scalable architectures and cloud-native solutions using AWS. My thesis work and research have centered on quantum database architectures and the integration of quantum principles into data science workflows. I also contribute technical content as a writer and am recognized for my work in AI and autonomous systems.

  • Education: MSc Computer Engineering (UOC), MSc Advanced Physics; advanced programs at MIT & Stanford
  • Quantum Focus: Academic background in quantum mechanics, quantum optics, quantum information
  • Cloud: AWS Solutions Architect (EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, DynamoDB, SageMaker, Step Functions)
  • Languages: English (B2, UOC certified), Spanish (Native), Catalan (Native)
  • Mobility: Open to opportunities in the US (Texas), Germany, Switzerland, UK

Research Interests

My academic trajectory is oriented toward pursuing a PhD in theoretical and computational physics, with a focus on exotic quantum matter and topological quantum computation. I am particularly interested in parafermions (PFs), which generalize Majorana fermions and allow for richer braiding statistics and topologically protected qudit gates. This direction opens up possibilities for more efficient native implementations of complex gates such as the Toffoli gate in topological quantum architectures.

I explore the role of strongly correlated systems—such as fractional quantum Hall states, topological insulators, and hybrid semiconductor–superconductor nanowires—in the realization of PFs. A key part of this research involves hybrid quantum systems that combine spin qubits in quantum dots with parafermionic modes, enabling hybrid qubit–qudit processing schemes. I'm also interested in the emergence of parastatistical particles in 3D systems and their application in robust quantum gate design.

My broader goal is to combine methods from condensed matter physics, many-body theory, computational physics, and machine learning to model, simulate, and design next-generation quantum devices.
