I study physics at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.

currently, I do research in learning theory and numerical linear algebra. I'm working on approximating tensor contractions for quantum circuit simulation and symbolic machine learning for optimal control theory. you can find a summary of my current research and a reading list of books and papers I'm exploring.

beyond academics, I enjoy ultimate frisbee and curating my vinyl collection.

here is a simulation of graph random walks!

news:
[02.2026] - I will be joining the Vector Institute as a visiting research intern! I will be hosted by Alán Aspuru-Guzik and the Matter Lab at the University of Toronto.
[08.2025] - "Approximating Tensor Contractions with Annealed Importance Sampling" will be at the poster session at QSim 2025 at IBM, New York City.
