Profile

Research expertise

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.

Biography

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.
