About Me

I am a PhD student at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Warwick working under the supervision of Sergii Strelchuk and Matthias C. Caro. My research is in Quantum Computing, namely tensor network represenations and how parameterised graph theory can help tackle Qunatum learning and testing problems.

Before starting my PhD, I graduated from the University of Warwick in 2023 as a Master of Engineering in Discrete Mathematics. I am a member of the Division of Theory and Foundations (FoCS) and Warwick Quantum.
