About
Hi, I’m Dennis Wayo. My loved ones call me Dela.
I am a quantum systems architect and scientific software engineer working at the intersection of quantum theory, numerical modelling, and systems engineering.
I hold a PhD in Chemical Engineering, and I’m pursuing a PhD in Computer Science at TUBAF in parallel with an MS in Computer Science (computing systems) at Georgia Tech. I created LiDMaS+, a replay-first quantum error-correction benchmarking engine, and SchroSIM, a scalable photonic quantum circuit simulator.
My quantum journey was built on the shoulders of PennyLane, Qiskit, the GPAW stack, and hackathon events. I focus on reproducible, production-grade tools that turn theory into auditable scientific results across real-world applications.
I also mentor researchers through hands-on, publication-ready quantum workflows globally.
