Biography
I grew up in Vienna, Austria. After studying Mathematics and Physics at the University of Vienna from 2006-2013, I obtained my PhD in Mathematics from the University of Cambridge in 2017. I was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at JILA, University of Colorado Boulder from 2016-2019, and a Joint Postdoctoral Fellow at the Institute for Quantum Computing, University of Waterloo and the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics from 2019-2020. In January 2021 I joined the Department of Mathematics at UIUC as an Assistant Professor. My research focuses on quantum information theory. I received a CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation in 2025.
Research Interests
Mathematical and computational aspects of quantum information theory.
Research Description
I study mathematical and computational aspects of quantum information theory. In particular, I am interested in the following topics:
- Quantum channels and their capacities
- (Non-)Additivity problems
- Multipartite entanglement
- Teleportation protocols
- Entropic quantities and their properties (see my PhD thesis)
- Classical and quantum network information theory
To study these topics, I use tools from representation theory and group theory, matrix analysis, and convex optimization (in particular semidefinite programming).
Education
PhD, University of Cambridge, 2017
