I've moved!! Here is my new home page, with updated contact information.
I am a graduate student in computer science at UC San Diego. I am interested in quantum computing, particularly algorithms, complexity and cryptography. I'm also interested in economic aspects of distributed systems, as well as government and public policy.
My advisors are Russell Impagliazzo and David Meyer. I am supported by an ARO/DTO Quantum Computing Graduate Research Fellowship. My e-mail address is: y9liu "AT" cs.ucsd.edu

Totoro--with apologies to Studio Ghibli
"Reports that say something hasn't happened are interesting to me,
because as we know, there are known knowns*; there are things we know we
know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there
are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the
ones we don't know we don't know." --Donald Rumsfeld
[*Actually, Rumsfeld made a mistake here and said "there are known
unknowns," which doesn't make any sense.]
