Hi, I'm Spencer. I'm a fourth-year CS PhD candidate at Cornell University.
My current research interests are in theoretical cryptography, particularly lattice-based cryptography and lattice algorithms, but in the past I've also worked on learning theory and causality projects. I'm extremely fortunate to be advised by Noah Stephens-Davidowitz.
Outside of research, I play ultimate frisbee for Cornell, and I'm playing the long game with progressive bodyweight training and meditation. I also enjoy swing dancing and basketball. As of now (summer 2023) I'm headed to Boston for a summer of work in Vinod Vaikuntanathan's research group at MIT.
In past lives, I studied computer science and physics at the University of Washington, and had several eye-opening internships: two with Microsoft's Quantum Architectures and Computing group, and a summer at Jane Street Capital.
