About.
I am an Assistant Professor at IIIT Hyderabad, where I am affiliated with the Centre for Quantum Science and Technology (CQST) and the Centre for Security, Theory and Algorithmic Research (CSTAR). Prior to this, I was an F.R.S. – FNRS postdoctoral fellow at the Centre for Quantum Information and Communication (QuIC), Université libré de Bruxelles, working with Jérémie Roland. I obtained my PhD from the University of Lisbon in December 2017, where I was affiliated with the Physics of Information and Quantum Technologies Group, supervised by Yasser Omar. During my PhD, I also spent some time at QuSoft, CWI Amsterdam, as a visiting researcher, where I was hosted by Stacey Jeffery.
Research.
I design novel quantum algorithms and study computational tasks where quantum devices can offer provable speedups, spanning both near-term quantum processors with limited qubits and shallow circuits, and the long-term regime of fully fault-tolerant, error-corrected machines. At CQST, my group has developed quantum walk–based algorithms, applied advanced quantum linear algebra techniques, and introduced practical implementations of key algorithmic paradigms such as Linear Combination of Unitaries (LCU) and Quantum Singular Value Transformation (QSVT) tailored for near-term devices. These advances have led to efficient algorithms for simulating quantum dynamics, probing low-energy Hamiltonian states, solving linear systems, and tackling optimization problems. You can see our publications here.
