I’m a first year PhD student at Northeastern University, grateful to be advised by Emanuele Viola. My interests lie in complexity theory, particularly pseudorandomness and the use of randomness in computation.
I completed my masters and undergrad at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), where I was advised by Russell Impagliazzo. During my time at UCSD I was also very fortunate to have worked with Nadia Heninger and Gerald Soosairaj.
My master’s thesis was a survey on the connections between randomness extractors and pseudorandom generators, and how they relate to optimal derandomization.

In my off-time I enjoy running, cycling, and swimming (occasionally putting the three together), as well as reading classics/philosophy. Any book recs are welcome.
Big shoutout to Eugenie Lai for the website template and inspiration.
