Hi! I’m a Yale Quantum Institute Postdoctoral Fellow working with Alex Kubica and Shruti Puri. I completed my PhD in physics at Caltech, advised by John Preskill, and before that, I did my undergrad at the University of Waterloo, where I studied Pure Math and Applied Math.
I’m interested in studying various problems in quantum error correction, including low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes, topological codes, erasure qubits, decoding algorithms, and fault-tolerant protocols. Previously, I have worked on quantum simulation, topological quantum computation, and quantum cryptography.
Here is my CV (updated June 2025).
