David E. Bernal works on optimization methods and quantum computing, including how to formulate and benchmark optimization problems for both classical and quantum computers (such as quantum annealers and variational quantum algorithms). His work also spans mixed-integer and disjunctive programming for process design in chemical engineering, and he develops open-source software tools (e.g., the JuliaQUBO ecosystem) for encoding and solving optimization problems in these areas.
