Louis Golowich

I am a PhD student in the Computer Science Department at UC Berkeley, where I am fortunate to be advised by Venkatesan Guruswami. My research interests include quantum computation, error correction, complexity theory, expander graphs/high-dimensional expanders, and more.

Previously, as an undergraduate at Harvard University, I was lucky to be advised by Salil Vadhan.
