About
In the Fall of 2025, I will be starting my PhD at the University of Chicago. Prior to this, I was an undergraduate student at the University of Toronto.
My research interests are (very broadly) related to differential and algebraic topology/geometry and mathematical physics. Much of my undergraduate
research was in quantum algorithms and quantum information, but this is no longer my main focus.

Miscellaneous
- I used to work at Xanadu, as well as Extropic.
Both companies are very cool and have done a lot for me. Check them out!
- If you're a high school student who likes math and physics, speaking from personal experience, I really recommend learning about quantum computing. Certain aspects of
it are very accessible with a bit of linear algebra knowledge, plus you can actually write code to test out ideas.
