I am currently at OpenAI, on leave from my academic position as a Hartree Postdoctoral Fellow at University of Maryland/QuICS. My academic research aims to study the fundamentals of computation in our physical universe. My interests include the complexity of quantum states and unitaries, algorithmic applications of representation theory, pseudorandomness and cryptography, compilation on the unitary group, and connections to condensed matter physics. I obtained my PhD in Applied Physics at Stanford in 2024, where I was fortunate to be advised by Adam Bouland. Previously, I did my undergraduate degree in physics and math at Harvard.
