I am a PhD student in the computer science department at UMD in the QuICS center. I am advised by Daniel Gottesman, and am primarily studying quantum complexity theory. Prior to joining UMD, I worked for a year at Sandia National Labs with Mohan Sarovar, studying quantum algorithms and quantum circuit synthesis. I did my undergraduate studies at Harvey Mudd College, where I studied computer science and mathematics, along with a lot of physics.
