My research lies at the intersection of theoretical computer science and combinatorics, with a particular focus on high-dimensional expanders (HDXs) and their applications to fundamental problems in computer science. My goal is to develop the mathematical theory of high-dimensional expansion and use it to address questions in computational complexity, coding theory, property testing, and pseudorandomness.
