I am an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the University of Calgary located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

I am interested in  mathematical problems in quantum information science, complexity theory, and cryptography. For information about my current and past research projects, check out my research page.

I was previously a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Ottawa. My mentors were Prof. Anne Broadbent and Prof. Arthur Mehta.

I obtained a Ph.D. from the Department of Combinatorics & Optimization at the University of Waterloo under the co-supervision of Prof. William Slofstra and Prof. Jon Yard. While at Waterloo I was also a member of the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC).
