Academic Achievements
  • Latest publications include: Quantum Normalizing Flows for Anomaly Detection, Quantum Rényi and f-divergences from integral representations, Chain Rules for Renyi Information Combining, Bounding Quantum Capacities via Partial Orders and Complementarity, Quantum Differential Privacy: An Information Theory Perspective, Quantum Network Discrimination, Quantum Sequential Hypothesis Testing, On contraction coefficients, partial orders and approximation of capacities for quantum channels.
Research Experience
  • Was a postdoctoral researcher in QMATH at the University of Copenhagen, working with Matthias Christandl; then carried out a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Global Fellowship with Robert König at TU Munich and Marco Tomamichel at CQT NUS.
Education
  • Obtained PhD degree from the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona under the supervision of John Calsamiglia.
Background
  • Currently a Junior Professor at the Institute for Information Processing at the University of Hannover. My research area is information theory, with a focus on quantum communication and quantum information processing. I’m interested in exploring the theoretical limitations of these tasks to better understand the potential impact of using quantum information. A particular focus of my work is on entropic quantities, e.g. entropy inequalities and their applications.
