Research Interests
I'm interested in quantum information research, more specifically quantum optimization, quantum key distribution (QKD), and quantum networking.
Currently doing quantum networking research with the Kwiat Quantum Information group under Paul Kwiat in the Department of Physics @ UIUC.
Previously worked on augmented reality captioning research with the ScribeAR group under Lawrence Angrave in the Department of Computer Science @ UIUC.
