Brief Biography
I
completed my B.Sc from National College (Jayanagar) Bangalore, India.
In 2002, I moved to University
of Oxford, UK on Rhodes Scholarship. At Oxford, I
worked on experimental Bose-Einstein condensates for slightly over two years in Ultra-cold
quantum matter group(Prof.
C. J. Foot’s group), Clarendon Laboratory. While at Oxford, my interest towards theoretical aspects of
quantum information theory and quantum computing lead me to Waterloo,
Canada which houses Institute
for Quantum Computing and Perimeter
Institute for Theoretical Physics. At Waterloo, I worked
under the guidelines of Prof.
R. Laflamme and completed my Ph.D in the year 2009.
