My research expertise is quantum cryptography. More precisely, I use quantum information to achieve advanced cryptographic tasks that would be impossible to do classically, or that can be based on weaker assumptions. I also enjoy research in post-quantum cryptography, the branch of classical cryptography that focuses on security against of a quantum adversary. I'm also interested in cryptographic solutions to privacy-friendly computing.

I obtained my PhD from Université de Montréal in 2018 under the direction of Louis Salvail with a thesis on quantum cryptographic protocols for two-party secure computation. I am currently researcher at the National Research Council of Canada. I am adjunct professor at Université de Montréal since 2022.

I'm looking for students who are skilled in theoretical computer science and are interested in cryptography and quantum computing. If you want to undertake graduate studies in those areas, send me an email with a resume and transcript.
