Hi! I'm a first-year Ph.D. student in the Computer Science Department at UT Austin where I'm advised by Scott Aaronson and Nick Hunter-Jones, and supported by the NSF GRFP. My research interests are broadly in quantum information and theoretical computer science. Lately I've been thinking about communication complexity, quantum speedups, and open quantum systems. Please feel free to reach out to me if you'd like to talk!

I received a B.S. in computer science with minors in applied math and applied physics from Columbia University in 2024, where I was fortunate to be advised by Henry Yuen. While there, I co-founded Columbia University Science Olympiad, which is an organization that hosts an annual Science Olympiad tournament for high school students.

I enjoy staying active through walking, hiking, running, and biking. I'm a nature enthusiast with an enduring appreciation of mountains, oceans, rocks, minerals, fossils, plants, animals, etc. I also like to read all sorts of things.
