Research

“We have not succeeded in answering all our problems. The answers we have found only serve to raise a whole set of new questions. In some ways we feel we are as confused as ever, but we believe we are confused on a higher level and about more important things.”

– from Oksendal’s Stochastic Differential Equations book

My interest broadly lies in stochastic dynamics observed in natural and engineering systems alike. I also would love to explore its intersection with control, large deviation, and information theory.

Here are a few examples of what I am working on/would like to know more about:

information processing in cells
control and games of networked agents
training dynamics of artificial neural networks

I’ve also worked on several quantum computing projects in my undergraduate years. Notably, there are a few works on quantum circuit cutting and one work on quantum networks.

For some concrete examples on the things I have done, in addition to original results in Google Scholar, the notes page will show you a few things I know and the reading list page will tell you where I’m heading next.
