I am a PhD student as part of Qusoft (CWI, Amsterdam), where I was fortunate to be advised by Stacey Jeffery. Previously, I did my Master's degree at the Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of Waterloo, where I was fortunate to be advised by Richard Cleve.

 My research is broadly about understanding how quantum information intersects with other areas of science. This includes (but is not limited to) operator algebra, complexity, learning theory, and cryptography. Some specific problems that I am currently thinking about are the connection between cloning and learning, and relating different conjectures in operator algebra to non-local games. I am always open to exploring new and fun problems to think about, so please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or ideas.

 When I am not thinking about research, I enjoy bouldering, cycling and exploring the world!

 Update: I am currently looking for the next academic position for fall 2026!
