About Me
I am a PhD student at the MIT Center for Theoretical Physics, co-advised by Aram Harrow and Seth Lloyd. I am broadly interested in the intersection of theoretical physics and theoretical computer science, with a focus on quantum computing.
I obtained a Bachelor's and Master's degree from ETH Zurich in Switzerland, where I studied physics and mathematics. Before joining MIT, I spent a year at Google Quantum AI in Los Angeles.Education
