I am a 4th year graduate student in physics at Yale University. My research is focused on a type of solid-state quantum bit (qubit). The hope is to one day be able to build a practical quantum computer. You can find more information on our lab website.

My hobbies include skiiing, tennis, web development/design, video games, and video production. I have finally broken my World of Warcraft habit.
