Hi! I'm Ryan, a first-year CS PhD student at UT Austin supported by the NSF GRFP. My research interests include quantum information, theoretical computer science, and connections of these fields to quantum many-body and statistical physics.
I received a B.S. in computer science with minors in applied math and applied physics from Columbia University, where I was fortunate to be advised by Henry Yuen. While there, I also co-founded Columbia University Science Olympiad, which hosts an annual invitational for high school students.
I enjoy staying active through walking, hiking, running, and biking. I'm a huge nature enthusiast with a love for mountains, rocks, minerals, fossils, plants, and animals, and I also enjoy reading and exploring new topics more broadly.
