Shoutout to my former student Elijah Tarr who got featured for his research in distributed quantum computing at GaTech and will be starting a PhD in Computer Science at UCLA this fall!

Eli was in the first cohort of Math Academy’s Eurisko program, which, during its operation from 2020-23, was the most advanced high school math/CS sequence in the USA.

It culminated in high school students doing masters/PhD-level coursework: reproducing academic research papers in artificial intelligence, building everything from scratch in Python.

In the Eurisko program, the goal was to get students to a point of skill that they could capitalize on some math/coding-related opportunity and turn it into a chain reaction of fortunate events.

It’s still early, but we’re already seeing a bunch of these chain reactions get underway.

Eli – I (and Jason and all of us at MA) are super proud of you.

You’ve got the trifecta: serious talent, serious work ethic, and you’re a wonderful person to be around.

It’s been so exciting watching how far you’ve come with your math/CS pursuits in just the past several years.

Keep up the intensity; we can’t wait to see where your journey takes you in the future!
