I grew up in the plains Nepal, and I'm currently studying Physics and Mathematics at Duke University.
I spend a lot of my time thinking about physics, quantum computing, information and how we can use computation to understand nature. Along the way, I've found myself working on everything from simulations of quantum systems to medical imaging and air pollution in Nepal. I also enjoy building things, writing down what I learn, and occasionally getting distracted by questions that have nothing to do with what I'm supposed to be doing. Lately I've gotten into vibe-coding useful projects with claude.
This website is where I keep some of those projects, notes, resources, and thoughts. It's a work in progress, much like everything else.
You can read more about me, browse my projects and notes, skim my CV, find me on GitHub and Google Scholar, or just get in touch.
Research · Preprint
At Augsburg, I spent a summer investigating how much of a quantum system we actually need to simulate when we're interested in measuring just one thing.
Readout-aware approximation in structured operator bases: symmetries, Pauli propagation, and weighted commutator graphs.
Research · Published
I've been working on generating realistic 3D human anatomy using diffusion models. One surprisingly difficult part is changing the size of an organ without messing up everything around it.
Sequential, volume-conditioned diffusion for 3D anatomy.

I'm currently trying to understand how much information about the materials inside the body we can recover from CT measurements. It turns out matching the measurements doesn't necessarily mean recovering the right materials.
Differentiable spectral CT forward modeling, gradient-based inverse optimization, and identifiability analysis.
Research
I'm building tools to simulate how air pollution moves, figure out where it might be coming from, and explore where placing sensors would be most useful.
PDE simulations, source inversion, and sensor-placement experiments.
Things I’ve learned, questions I’m following, and resources worth sharing.
My college application experience, a few things I learned, and some advice for anyone going through it.
Resources and guidance for the International Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics.
Good questions belong to everyone.
Through Unnchai, I mentor high school students in Nepal on quantum algorithms. I care about making learning resources and educational opportunities easier to find—and leaving room to explore beyond formal research.
