Personal Website

I am a PhD candidate in computer science at the University of Maryland, advised by Yi-Kai Liu and Michael Gullans, affliliated with the Joint Center for Quantum Information and Computer Science (QuICS) and the Institute for Robust Quantum Simulation (RQS).

I am broadly interested in applying tools from theoretical computer science to answer questions about quantum computation and many-body physics. I am especially interested in models of current quantum computers, such as noisy, random, and/or shallow circuits, and in quantum algorithms & error correction techniques for the next generation of quantum computers.
