Bio

I am a second year Computer Science Ph.D. student at the University of Toronto and a Researcher at the Vector Institute, supervised by Dr. Alán Aspuru-Guzik at The Matter Lab. I received my B.S. in Computer Science with a minor in Materials Science and Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology, where my research background helped earn an NSF GRFP Honorable Mention.

My research interests lie at the intersection of quantum algorithms, machine learning, and computational science. Currently, I am working on using quantum algorithms to simulate non-linear phase change partial differential equations, with a specific focus on leveraging compressed micro-lattice architectures for fluid dynamics. I also work on machine learning for the physical sciences, including developing AI agents for quantum computing and chemical applications, and have worked in evaluating confidence score degradation under distribution shifts in protein structure prediction models.

Outside the lab, I am actively involved in teaching, advocacy, and my local community. I serve as a Teaching Assistant for CSC108 at UofT, a tutor for the Matter Lab International Satellite School at UNAM, and a Steward for CUPE 3902 representing Computer Science graduate students. I also spend time volunteering at the Fort York Food Bank, and have taught at and hosted chess camps for students in the Atlanta area.

I have played chess my entire life, previously serving as the VP of Marketing for the Georgia Tech Chess Club and representing Georgia Tech at collegiate tournaments across the country. Nowadays, in addition to chess, you can find me attending screenings at the Toronto International Film Festival, catching up on One Piece lore, or closely following the NBA and other sports. I've always been fascinated by math, puzzles, and discovery; research in computational science was the obvious choice!
