I'm a PhD candidate working under the supervision of Mark Bun at the Department of Computer Science, Boston University.
I'm interested in various aspects of Theoretical Computer Science. Currently, I'm focused on the boundaries of computing big data, where the data is assumed to be so big that it either cannot be stored fully or cannot be read fully.
My most recent projects include working on lower bounds for the
approximate degree of Boolean functions, quantum query complexity (including with relation to convex optimization), the space complexity of quantum streaming, and streaming for problems related to differential privacy.
I'm graduating in Summer 2025 and looking for postdoc and full-time industry positions!
