I am an Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Mathematics (joint appointments) at the University of Toronto. I am a member of the CS Theory group and the Centre for Quantum Information and Quantum Control. I am also an affiliate member of the Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of Waterloo.

My research focuses on the interplay between quantum computing, complexity theory, cryptography, and information theory.
