Academic Achievements
- Published multiple papers including 'Extractor architectures', 'Fast and fault-tolerant logical measurements', 'Composable Quantum Fault-Tolerance'; Experimental demonstration of logical magic state distillation published in Nature; Proposed punctured quantum Reed-Solomon codes with transversal and addressable CCZ gates; Parallel logical measurements via quantum code surgery; ML decoders are faster and more accurate than BPOSD for QLDPC codes.
Research Experience
- Conducted research in quantum computation and quantum error correction at MIT; Participated in research projects in graph algorithms and combinatorics at CMU.
Education
- Graduate student at MIT, advised by Professor Peter Shor and Anand Natarajan; Undergraduate at CMU, worked in graph algorithms with Professor Anupam Gupta and Jason Li, and combinatorics with Professor Boris Bukh and Michael Tait.
Background
- A quantum optimist. Research is in quantum computation, with a focus on quantum error correction. Believes quantum computational power is a fundamental new resource bestowed to us by nature, and quantum error correction is the procedure that refines this raw resource for use in applications.
Miscellany
- Gave an invited talk on 'Challenges in Scalable Quantum Error Correction' at the Mathematics of Computation and Algorithms Workshop hosted by IBM Cambridge; Presented work on 'Extractors' at the Scalable QEC Workshop, part of IEEE Quantum Week; Presented 'Extractors: QLDPC Architecture for Efficient Pauli-Based Computation' at Yale’s YQI and QEC 2025; Presented 'Improved QLDPC Surgery: Logical Measurements and Bridging Codes' at the Fault-Tolerant Quantum Technologies Workshop in Benasque, Spain; Gave a guest lecture titled 'An Introduction to Quantum LDPC Codes' at UCLA; Attended QEC 2023 in Sydney, Australia; Presented 'Extractors' at the Quantum Algorithms, Complexity, and Fault Tolerance Reunion hosted by Simons Institute; Presented 'Quantum Codes with Addressable and Transversal Non-Clifford Gates' at Inria’s QASAR Seminar; Presented 'Single-shot decoding of good quantum LDPC codes' at TQC 2024 in Okinawa, Japan.
