I am a research scientist working at the intersection of theoretical quantum information science and many-body physics. My research interests include quantum/classical algorithms for quantum simulation, characterization/benchmarking of quantum systems, and quantum error correction.

Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Quantum Performance Lab at Sandia National Labs. Until 2022, I was an NSF/Lanczos Graduate Research Fellow at the Joint Center for Quantum Information and Computer Science (QuICS) at the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD), where I was co-advised by Profs. Alexey Gorshkov (NIST/UMD) and Brian Swingle (Brandeis). Before that, I earned my B.S in Physics from Stanford University.
