About

I received my PhD in Quantum Information from the Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of Waterloo in 2012, advised by Ashwin Nayak and Levent Tunçel. I then held postdoctoral positions at Université Paris VII (working with Iordanis Kerenidis, 2012–2014), the Centre for Quantum Technologies at the National University of Singapore as an NSERC Postdoctoral Fellow (with Miklos Santha, 2014–2017), and the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics (with Robert Spekkens, 2017–2020). Since 2020, I have been an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Virginia Tech.
