I am (as of Fall 2024) a fourth-year pure mathematics student at the University of Toronto. Right now, I'm working at Xanadu, a quantum computing company located in Toronto, on fault-tolerant quantum algorithm research.
Before this, I worked at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on the theory of quantum algorithmic primitives, under the supervision of Professor Isaac Chuang, and before that I was the first non-founding employee (although admittedly a less important one than subsequent hardware-genius hires) at Extropic (I took a gap year from 2022-2023 to do this).
Outside of my primary job/education, I do research with Professor Nathan Wiebe on quantum algorithms. My mathematical interests are mostly geometric and topological in flavour. Right now, I am particularly interested in Hamiltonian systems, Lie algebroids, and K-theory. I also like to think about the synthesis of pure mathematics with fault-tolerant quantum algorithms and quantum simulation, as well as complexity.
This is my "knowledge repository": The Coherent State. I actually have a lot of content on this site, but it's not very accessible via the home page. Hopefully I fix this soon!
