About Me
I am an assistant professor of computer science and an IBM Quantum Research Chair at the Université de Sherbrooke. I am a member of the CS Theory group as well as the Institut quantique. My research focuses on the interplay between quantum computing, complexity theory, and quantum many-body physics.
I am currently seeking motivated and talented individuals to join my research group as postdoctoral researchers and graduate students. For more information, please visit Open Positions.

Open Positions
I am seeking motivated and talented individuals to join my research group as postdoctoral researchers and graduate students. My current research focuses on three main areas of interest:
- Development of noise-robust utility-scale quantum algorithms.
- Development and resource estimate of early fault-tolerant quantum algorithms.
- Study of quantum approximation algorithms and complexity for Local Hamiltonian Problems.
Prospective candidates with a strong interest and background in these areas are encouraged to apply.
Postdoctoral Researchers:
Given the interdisciplinary nature of our work, candidates with PhDs from a broad range of related fields are encouraged to apply. A strong publication record is expected.
Application Materials:
- Curriculum Vitae (CV) including a list of publications.
- Statement of Research.
- Names and contact information for three references.
Please send the above documents with “Postdoc Application” as the subject line.
Graduate Students:
Given the interdisciplinary nature of our work, students with a strong background in one or more of the three core disciplines––physics, computer science, or math––are encouraged to apply. While prior knowledge of quantum computing is certainly a plus, it’s not a strict requirement. Experience or knowledge in areas like algorithms, theory of computation, numerical methods and analysis, quantum physics, and solid coding skills are highly desirable.
To apply, please send the following documents:
- Your up-to-date CV.
- Transcript: Highlight coursework and projects related to numerical methods and analysis, algorithms, theory of computation, and quantum physics.
- Research Statement: Provide a brief description of your research interests and discuss how they align with my group’s focus.
