Alan Guo

I received my PhD in Theoretical Computer Science at MIT in June 2015, where I did research in algebraic coding theory under the supervision of Madhu Sudan.

I received my BS in Mathematics from Duke University in May 2011, where I did research in combinatorial commutative algebra and combinatorial game theory under the guidance of Ezra Miller.

One of my hobbies is drawing. Here are some recent things I've drawn.
