PhD student, UMass Amherst
I'm a PhD student at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, advised by Stefan Krastanov.
I'm interested in the algebraic structure behind quantum error-correcting codes, from asymptotically good lifted product and quantum Tanner codes to high-rate qLDPC codes, and in how that structure enables single-shot decoding and efficient fault-tolerant logic. I'm also the lead contributor to the error-correcting codes in QuantumClifford.jl.
I'm looking for research internships in quantum error correction. Feel free to get in touch.
