Computer Science Ph.D. Candidate
Yale University

My advisor is Yongshan Ding. I expect to graduate in 2028.

My research includes quantum algorithms and compilation, quantum error correction and mitigation, and machine learning.

Outside research

I like my music experimental and my cars on a racetrack. Away from research, I also play League of Legends and turn engineering ideas into working projects with AI, including tools for quant trading.
