Relevant Material:

I started studying cosmology with an honors senior thesis on PP vs. linearized gravitational waves at Colby College. This work continued to Tufts University where I published a paper on gravitational backreaction with Prof. Ken Olum. Ultimately, quantum information seemed to be a more malleable and attractive field with a myriad of applications and approaches. Prof. Peter Love took me on at the end of my second year. My approach is more physics and math-based than computer-science-based.

I work on the exactly-solvable Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick (or LMG, or Lipkin) model, its possible uses for quantum computing, and collaborate with UW Madison. In particular, the model's Gaudin-algebraic structure is extremely interesting.

Irrelevant Material:

In my free time I am a standard nerd who also works on guitars and guitar-related things. Every holiday season I work some hours at my old job slinging lobsters wholesale and retail. In addition, I wish to credit my enthusiasm for science to Mr. (Jon) Moss, who taught the freshman-level Physical Science and junior-level Physics classes when I attended Portsmouth Public High School in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
