I am not accepting new review requests at this time. Thanks for understanding!
I recently completed a research fellowship at the National University of Singapore, working under Vincent Tan. I work in algebraic coding theory. I enjoy thinking about new and strange models of coding, particularly if there is a way to use Reed-Solomon codes to solve the problem. Most of my work is on finding efficient codes for settings where errors are adversarial.
I completed my PhD in 2015 at Carnegie Mellon University, under the supervision of Venkat Guruswami. My thesis was innovatively titled "Beyond unique decoding: Topics in error-correcting codes."
