My CV

Hi! I am a second year CS PhD student at Purdue University advised by Jeremiah Blocki. I am thankful to be supported in part by the Presidential Doctoral Excellence Award and the Herbold Fellowship.

I am interested in several problems within the intersections of coding theory, cryptography, and quantum computing. I am currently investigating how we can use cryptography to construct codes with improved parameters beyond those known for worst-case assumptions. Broadly, I am interested in topics pertaining to fault tolerant, secure computation.

Previously, I completed my computer science BS and MS at Carnegie Mellon University (2019-2024), where I was advised by Rashmi Vinayak.
