I am an Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Mathematics (joint appointments) at the University of Toronto. My research focuses on the interplay between quantum computing, complexity theory, cryptography, and information theory. Questions that I am particularly fascinated by include:

• How complex can quantum states be?
• Can quantum computers be tested?
• How can quantum information be used in cryptography?
• What problems can be solved faster with a quantum computer?
