PhD candidate, Electrical & Computer Engineering, Duke University
I am a PhD candidate in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University's Brown Lab, advised by Kenneth R. Brown. I work on fault-tolerant quantum computing and quantum error correction, with interests in transversal gates, Floquet codes, and decoding for quantum LDPC codes.
PhD in Electrical & Computer Engineering, Duke University (2023–Present) MSc in Physics, Freie Universität Berlin BA in Mathematics & Physics, Washington University in St. Louis
How can quantum codes protect information while allowing logical operations? With Kenneth R. Brown, I constructed CSS codes that implement a logical CCZ gate through physical transversal T/T† gates, using projective geometry and SAT solvers. Paper · Code and data
I study how changing stabilizer measurements over time can protect quantum information. With Kenneth R. Brown, I designed a dynamical code from a minimally non-local hypergraph product code. I also develop software for constructing measurement schedules and identifying local detector relations. Presentations · Software
I study algorithms for recovering encoded quantum information from noisy error syndromes, with a focus on quantum LDPC codes and belief propagation. My work includes neural-network enhanced belief propagation and research on decoding during my Xanadu internship. Presentations
Tools for structural measurement schedules, local detector discovery, and homology checks for supported Clifford circuits. Emits structural Stim measurement circuits for supported CSS codes; full fault-tolerant gadget verification remains separate.
Code, data, and reproduction instructions for constructing CSS codes with transversal CCZ using projective geometry and SAT solvers. Includes generator matrices, physical sign patterns, and verification programs for the paper's constructions.
I use LLM coding agents, including Claude Code and Codex, for research software, simulations, literature work, and manuscript revision.
