I am a third-year pure mathematics student at the University of Toronto. Right now, I'm working at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on the theory of quantum algorithmic primitives, under the supervision of Professor Isaac Chuang. Before this, I was the first non-founding employee at a stealth quantum/machine learning startup (I took a gap year from 2022-2023 to do this), and before that I was a research intern at Xanadu, a quantum computing company located in Toronto, developing quantum algorithms for performing chemical calculations.
Outside of my primary job/education, I do research with Professor Nathan Wiebe on quantum algorithms. Broadly, my academic interests are related to the synthesis of pure mathematics with fault-tolerant quantum algorithms and quantum simulation, as well as complexity.
For my CV, click here. It's probably at least somewhat out of date at any given point in time.
New: Check out my new-and-improved knowledge repository, The Coherent State. I'm planning on writing a lot more here, in the near future.
