About

Hi! I'm a first-year Master's student in Quantum Engineering at ETH Zürich. I'm generally excited by problems in theoretical quantum information and computation that tell us something about what we can know, how much we can know, or what is computable. Recently, I've been working on geometric and probabilistic aspects of quantum optimization (arXiv:2511.14628).

Before ETH, I completed my Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (with a minor in mathematics) at UC Berkeley.

Quantum Publications Analytics

Inspired by CSRankings (csrankings.org) and the difficulty of combing through researchers and universities in search of a home graduate institution, I have started to put together a tool that uses publication and conference data from OpenAlex to explore publication analytics in quantum research across institutions.

The goal is not to produce a leaderboard, but to give people a way to more easily search through the data themselves.The project is very much still in the experimental phase, and comments are more than welcome.
