I am a doctoral researcher in the Distributed Algorithms Group headed by Prof. Jukka Suomela. I am broadly interested in the theoretical foundations of distributed and parallel computing, computational complexity, and algorithm design, particularly for graph problems. Recently, I have been studying primitives such as matrix multiplication in parallel computing models, including MPC, Congested Clique, NCC, and low-bandwidth models.
