Welcome

Hello. I am a fourth year Ph.D. student in theoretical computer science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I am grateful to be advised by Jin-Yi Cai. My undergraduate education was at Iowa State University, where I received BS degrees in computer science and computer engineering.

Research Interests

I am interested in the complexity of counting problems, especially ones in the Holant framework, where there are holographic algorithms. A central goal in this area is to prove dichotomy theorems, which say that every problem in some large class is either tractable or #P-hard.
