Full résuméCurrent directions
The questions I keep returning to.
Quantum computation
How can quantum models reveal structure that classical representations miss?
Crypto agility
How do we build critical systems that can change their cryptography without breaking?
Scientific machine learning
What representation makes a rare signal visible inside noisy, irregular data?
Quantum matter
Can driven dynamics create useful order beyond what equilibrium phases allow?

About
Technical depth, translated into action.
I am a Harvard undergraduate studying Physics and Economics, with interests spanning quantum information, scientific machine learning, cryptographic resilience, and technology strategy.
I am drawn to people and projects that are rigorous without being narrow—work that advances the frontier, creates leverage, and builds pathways for others to participate.
