About me
I am currently a CS PhD student at UC Berkeley in the theory group, advised by Umesh Vazirani.


Research
Quantum computers have the potential to drastically advance our understanding of the physical world. As such, I'm interested in their interface with quantum many-body systems. Lately, I have been thinking about algorithms for fermionic systems and complexity of many-body systems (e.g. area laws).

I gained my footing in research at UIUC, Los Alamos, and a wonderful summer at the IQC in Waterloo, with David Gosset.
