I am a QEC Theorist at Atom Computing.

I recently earned my Ph.D. at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, advised by Aws Albarghouthi. My dissertation was titled "Qubit Mapping and Routing for an Evolving Quantum Architecture Landscape."

Before that, I earned a B.S. in Computer Science and Math at Harvey Mudd College, where I worked on quantitative program analysis with Lucas Bang and the ALPAQA group.
