CV

My research focus is broadly in theoretical computer science and its applications to quantum information. Currently, I'm working various problems in quantum computing, ranging from quantum property testing, learning theory, and complexity theory.

I am currently a PhD student at Harvard supervised by Anurag Anshu. Before arriving at Harvard, I spent the first two years of my PhD at UT Austin, under the supervision of John Wright. I received my B.Sc. from Carnegie Mellon University, where my thesis was advised by Anıl Ada and Ryan O'Donnell.
