Profile

Inaugural Fellow of the American Mathematical Society, 2013

PhD (Physics) received from Harvard University, Cambridge MA, 1984

BA (Mathematics, Physics) received from Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, 1980

Areas of Interest

My main area of interest is quantum information theory, where research revolves around the question of how the unique properties of quantum systems (such as state superpositions and entanglement) can be exploited to enhance the efficiency of tasks involving information storage and transfer. I have worked on problems related to computation and communication (channel capacity, data compression, 802.11, TCP), matrix analysis (completely positive maps, operator spaces), nano physics (energy transfer and dynamics) and classical dynamical systems (stability of switching systems).
