About Me

I am currently a Future Faculty Fellow postdoctoral researcher at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), working in the Department of Computer Science under the supervision of Dakshita Khurana and Makrand Sinha. My research focuses broadly on quantum complexity theory and quantum information theory. Specifically, I employ techniques from various mathematical disciplines such as high-dimensional probability theory and representation theory to explore the intersection of quantum mechanics with computational and communication problem. Prior to joining UIUC, I held two postdoc positions at Tufts University and University of Amsterdam (QuSfot). I completed my PhD at Georgia Tech under supervision of Matthieu Bloch.
