About
I study problems in quantum information theory with a probability and statistics viewpoint. I have developed new statistical methods for analyzing experiments in quantum physics and new protocols for device-independent random number generation. My interests also include the geometric structure of probability distributions arising in quantum mechanics and the phenomenon of multipartite nonlocality.
