About me

I am a postdoc in the School of Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study. In Summer 2026, I will join the Computing and Mathematical Sciences (CMS) Department at Caltech as an assistant professor.
I received my Ph.D. from UC Berkeley in Spring 2025, where I was very fortunate to be advised by Avishay Tal. Before that, I received my B.S in Computer Science and Math from Peking University.
My research interests lie in the general area of theoretical computer science, with a recent focus on provable quantum advantages, Boolean function analysis, and quantum cryptography.
My name written in Chinese is 吴克文. You may pronounce Kewen as Kevin.
