    Level:College/University Student Pursuing an Undergraduate Degree, and Graduating in June 2016
    About Me: Public

    I spent my high school career at the National Institute of Standards and Technology researching the phenomenon of quantum entanglement, which has potential to provide a foundation for scalable quantum teleportation and computation. My interests shifted to quantitative finance in my first year at Stanford. I then got involved with a IEX Group, a start-up trading platform, and served as their in-house quant during my summer internship. Going into my sophomore year, I am focused on establishing the next great technology venture.

    January 2010 - June 2012
    Job Title: Researcher

    Responsibilities: While sophomore in high school, I contacted and established mentorship with Dr. Steven Olmschenk at NIST. I conducted research to advance quantum computers and quantum teleportation. During the research, I created and developed Mathematica programs for computational analysis and visualization of results. As a result of my work, I am an author on two published manuscripts.

    June 2013 - August 2013
    Job Title: Summer Intern

    Responsibilities: I developed measures to provide useful data interpretation for both internal decision-making and external-facing needs. I wrote scripts in Q to compute these metrics using kdb+, a powerful database for time-series analysis. My other work at the firm included development contributions to internal UI libraries and applications.

    Mentors

    Public
    Steven Olmschenk

    Recognition: Steve took a big chance by agreeing to mentor a 15-year-old in a quantum physics research project. I was extremely fortunate that, from day one, he believed in my potential. Over the course of my project, Steve taught me everything I know about quantum mechanics, which gave me the confidence I needed to work on cutting edge theory. Without Steve, I don't believe my research would have ever been so successful, and I am grateful to have worked with him.
