About

I am a Phillip Griffiths Assistant Research Professor at Duke University (hosted by Di Fang and Yu Tong). Prior to this, I was a Senior Quantum Research Associate at JP Morgan & Chase. I earned my PhD in Computer Science from Georgetown University in 2024, where I had the privilege of being advised by Justin Thaler. Earlier, I obtained a Master's degree in Physics from Rutgers University, following my undergraduate studies at Arizona State University, where I graduated with a B.S. in Physics and Mathematics.
