Hi, I'm Istiyak Amin Santo — a builder, researcher, and someone who dreams that one day I will create my own quantum computer.
I work at the intersection of Machine Learning, Quantum Computing, Operations Research, and Sustainable Energy Systems. I love turning complex ideas into real, working systems — from AI pipelines to optimization engines, and soon, quantum-enhanced algorithms.
My current research focuses on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of biofuel from Waste Cooking Oil (WCO) in Malaysia, where I use ML, uncertainty modeling, and optimization to discover pathways that reduce carbon footprints.
At the same time, I am expanding deeply into Quantum Computing, exploring how:
- Variational algorithms (VQE, QAOA)
- Quantum Machine Learning
- Hybrid quantum-classical workflows
- Grover’s search
- Quantum-inspired heuristics
can accelerate real-world problems in routing, scheduling, and energy systems.
Long-term vision:
I want to design practical quantum algorithms — and ultimately build my own quantum computer.
