I am an assistant professor at the University of Amsterdam and a researcher at QuSoft. I'm interested in quantum algorithms and quantum information theory. Before coming to Amsterdam I was a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at the University of Cambridge and a post-doctoral researcher at IBM. I have a PhD from the University of Waterloo.

Open positions

I will advertise a post-doc position soon. You might find additional positions on the QuSoft website.
