hello there! i’m a first-year phd student at ucsd advised by Daniel Grier. in another life i studied cs and math at the university of washington.
i particularly enjoy things in loose and broad association with quantum algorithms, learning theory and property testing. also seemingly unrelated, but i think a lot about unitary designs.
when i’m not thinking about cs or math, i spend a lot of my time playing botc with friends, writing and reading the new yorker. if you’re in the same city, looking to chat, or find yourself in need of a new garlic bread recipe, i’m always looking forward to making new
friends :) feel free to reach out!

teaching
i’ve been a teaching assistant for the cs department at uw since the summer right after freshman year. if you’re at uw and are considering applying to teach for a class you took at some point; i highly recommend it; definitely one of the most formative experiences i’ve had in college. below is a possibly outdated list of courses i’ve ta’ed for
- Foundations of Computing I (CSE 311)sp 23
- Foundations of Computing II (CSE 312)su 22 fall 22
- Algorithms and Computational Complexity (CSE 417)wi 24
- Toolkit for Modern Algorithms (CSE 422)wi 25
- Introduction to Quantum Computing (CSE 434)sp 24 sp 25
- Introduction to Machine Learning (CSE 446)wi 23
- Graduate Quantum Computing (CSE 534)fall 23 fall 24
some important links if pedagogy and education in cs are interesting \(\land \lor\)relevant to you
