Hi Cabot! My name is Richard (he/him), and as a Cabot alum I couldn’t be more excited to return to the Quad! I grew up under the stars of rural Virginia before coming to Harvard, where I concentrated jointly in Physics and Math with a secondary in Computer Science. After research with the Department of Energy and a year and half on Google’s quantum computing team, I’m now at MIT for a PhD in quantum information theory. I envision a future where quantum mechanics revolutionizes humanity’s approach to problem-solving, and I love working at that frontier!

In my free time, I enjoy doing anything and everything outdoors - rock climbing, running, biking (long walk to the River who?), and especially hiking the White Mountains with my partner and fellow tutor, Manu. You might also find me playing the violin, singing show tunes off-key at the piano, or painting sets with my Theater co-lead, Roshni! I can’t wait to share these parts of myself with you, but most of all, I can’t wait to hear what each of you have to share. So join me for a coffee in CabCaf, for a walk by Fresh Pond, or drop by our suite in Eliot! Semper Cor!
