I’m a theoretical physicist studying quantum information and quantum gravity in Professor Raphael Bousso’s group. Most recently, I’ve been fascinated by thinking about how to use quantum computing to study aspects of black holes. I am also excited by taking ideas from quantum gravity and seeing what they can teach us about quantum information more generally.

Previously, I was at Stanford where I studied theoretical physics and computer science. While I was there, I did research at the intersection of machine learning and cosmology under Professor Risa Wechsler, interned at Google, co-taught “Python for Scientists”, and led the tutoring team at the Center for Teaching and Learning.

In my free time, I enjoy taking photographs, playing frisbee, and tweaking my text editor config.
