About Me

I am currently a second-year PhD student in Quantum Cryptography at LIP6, Sorbonne Université in Paris, France. I am also part of the Marie Curie Doctoral Network Quantum Safe Internet.

My research interests span Quantum Information Theory, Computer Science, and Mathematical Physics. I work at the intersection of Quantum Information Theory, Quantum Cryptography and Complexity Theory, exploring the theoretical limits of computationally based quantum cryptography and how quantum information theory changes when complexity constraints are taken into account. Additionally, I collaborate with experimental researchers to enable the implementation of novel quantum-safe protocols, integrating techniques from post-quantum cryptography and quantum information.
