Academic Achievements
- Co-authored the book 'Picturing Quantum Software'
- Co-developed the open-source quantum compiler PyZX
- Published multiple papers on ZX-calculus, quantum circuit optimization, and quantum foundations, including:

Background
- Assistant Professor at the Theoretical Computer Science group, Informatics Institute, University of Amsterdam
- Collaborates with the QuSoft research center
- Research focuses on two areas: (1) diagrammatic techniques in quantum computation, especially using the ZX-calculus for quantum circuit optimization, classical simulation, and verification; (2) quantum foundations using algebraic and compositional methods to understand why nature follows quantum mechanics
- Co-authored the book 'Picturing Quantum Software' with Aleks Kissinger, available as a free preprint, covering quantum compilation and the ZX-calculus
- Co-creator of the open-source optimizing quantum compiler PyZX
