About Me
I am a first-year PhD student in computer science at the University of Washington, advised by Andrea Coladangelo. I am in the quantum group and the theory group.
Recently, I have been working to understand the primitives that might arise from extremely weak computational assumptions. I am interested in their robustness under strong collapses of classical complexity theory, which may help reveal deeper connections to pure mathematics and classical complexity theory.
I received my Bachelor's degree in mathematics from Tsinghua University, advised by Dingxin Zhang, focusing on the algebraic theory of curves.
