About me

I am a PhD candidate 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 algorithms.

I'm supported by a Google PhD Fellowship, a Werner Siemens Fellowship, and the Simons Foundation. Before joining MIT, I spent a year at Google Quantum AI in California. Even earlier, I studied at the wonderful ETH Zürich in Switzerland.
