I am a Senior Research Scientist at the Amazon Web Services Center for Quantum Computing located at the California Institute of Technology. I am on leave from my position as a UK Senior Lecturer (Assistant/Associate Professor) at the Department of Computing Imperial College London.

My research area is quantum information science, with a focus on quantum information theory and quantum cryptography. I am interested in connections to mathematical physics, most importantly through the fields of matrix analysis and optimization theory.

Previously, I was Postdoctoral Researcher at the Institute for Quantum Information and Matter California Institute of Technology, where I worked with John Preskill and Fernando Brandão. I obtained my PhD degree from the Institute for Theoretical Physics at ETH Zurich under the supervision of Matthias Christandl.
