I obtained my PhD from MIT theory of computation group in CSAIL. Specifically, I worked on the implications of quantum computing to Theoretical CS. In my thesis, I presented my work on the PCP theorem and the Unique Games Conjecture in the quantum setting under the supervision of Prof. Madhu Sudan. You can find a copy of my PhD thesis here.
I now work in industry pursuing a career in software engineering and machine learning.
