Brief Bio
I am an Associate Professor of Computer Science at the University of Connecticut. My primary research interests are in quantum cryptography and quantum information theory. I am very interested in studying the quantum resources required to gain an advantage over a classical protocol in cryptographic applications. I am also interested in studying entropic uncertainty relations, and their applications to quantum cryptography.
I am always happy to hear from motivated students at all levels looking to get involved in research. If you are interested, please feel free to contact me.
