My interests lie in the mathematical foundations of quantum computing and cryptography, and in the role that coding theory plays across both areas. I am interested in quantum error correction, post-quantum cryptography, cryptographic proof systems, and related questions in algebra and theoretical computer science.
My current work studies stabilizer codes for heterogeneous quantum systems and develops finite-field distance analyses and encoder benchmarks for RA, RAA, and EA codes used in cryptographic proof systems.

Security-enhanced software runtime
Undergraduate research with Prof. Xiaoguang Wang reduced executable in-memory footprint by 40% by serving and evicting code pages on demand in userspace, and trained an 80M-parameter autoregressive transformer on 1.7B execution tokens for anomalous control-flow detection.
