I am advised by Justin Thaler and Alexander Golovnev and part of a budding theory group at Georgetown.

I am interested in exploring the power of various classical and quantum models of computation. Currently, I am working on the following projects:

  • circuit lower bounds for \(B_2\) and \(ACC^0\) circuits.
  • relationships between various boolean function complexity measures
  • algorithms and lower bounds for the AVOID problems which relate to finding explicit constructions for circuit lower bounds, rigid matrices, etc.

I am also fascinated by the literature on the quantum PCP conjecture and the field of quantum hamiltonian complexity more generally.

Recently, I have also been reading about the scope of anonymization regulation in the GDPR. I hope to contribute to policy research that bridges the mathematical and legal definitions of privacy as part of the Bridging Privacy working group.

Previously, I contributed to (and help setup) the quantum information package of the popular quantum simulation toolbox QuTiP. You can read about my implementation of quantum circuit simulation here.
