I am a Ph.D. candidate in theoretical physics at the University of Maryland, College Park. I study a variety of topics relating to quantum information and quantum computation. I am affiliated with the Joint Center for Quantum Information and Computer Science (QuICS) and the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI) at the University of Maryland, where I am fortunate to be advised by Alexey Gorshkov. I have also had the opportunity to work extensively with Michael Jarret and Zohreh Davoudi, as well as many postdocs, fellow graduate students, and undergraduates.
I received my bachelor's degree in physics also from the University of Maryland, where I was a Banneker/Key scholar. I had excellent undergraduate research advisors in William Dorland and Stephen Jordan.
