Hi! I am a third-year computer science Ph.D. student at Yale University, where I'm advised by Professor Yongshan Ding. I'm interested quantum computing and computational complexity. My goal is to understand how quantum algorithms can be leveraged to solve challenging computational problems, for both theoretical and near-term applications. 

Prior to graduate school, I double majored in Mathematics and Computer Science, also at Yale.
