About me

I am a senior lecturer in quantum computing and quantum information at the University of Melbourne in the School of Physics and School of Mathematics and Statistics.

I am fascinated by open questions, and so am drawn in by quantum computing, which combines my love of physics, mathematics, and computer science, and throws up a constant stream of new challenges. With twenty years experience in the field, my primary research interests have been quantum control, semiconductor-based quantum computing, tensor network techniques, quantum algorithms, non-Markovian tomography, and quantum error correction. Most recently, I helped establish the IBM Quantum Hub at the University of Melbourne.

I teach the masters courses Introduction to Quantum Computing, and jointly Quantum Software Fundamentals, as well as the second-year course Elements of Quantum Computing.

Outside of work, I enjoy playing chess, bicycle-touring, orienteering, and travel with my wife, Jas.
