About me

Welcome to Yuxiang Peng’s homepage.

Bio

I’m a graduate student at the Department of Computer Science, University of Maryland, College Park. I’m also affiliated with the Joint Center for Quantum Information and Computer Science. I’m currently advised by Prof. Xiaodi Wu. My research focuses on theoretical and practical explorations of high-assurance software toolchains for quantum computing. I’m also broadly interested in programming languages, quantum computing and physics.

In 2019, I received a Bachelor of Engineering from the Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Science, Tsinghua University, and a Bachelor of Science (double major) from the Department of Mathematical Science, Tsinghua University. In 2022, I received a Master of Science from the Department of Computer Science, University of Maryland, College Park.
