I am a researcher working in the exciting field of quantum information. In my work I focus on quantum error correction: making sure that quantum computers function correctly even when some of their components go wrong. This research is crucial in the quest to build large-scale quantum computers and also has surprising connections to condensed matter physics and black hole physics!

I was previously a postdoctoral research fellow at Perimeter & IQC, working in the group of Raymond Laflamme. I did my PhD at University College London, where my supervisor was Dan Browne.
