About me
Assistant Professor,
Computer Science Department,
Stony Brook University
Office NCS 151
email: supartha @
Before November 2021, I was a postdoc with Anne Broadbent at the University of Ottawa and with Scott Aaronson at UT Austin. I received my PhD in computer science from the Centre for Quantum Technologies, National University of Singapore in Singapore, under the supervision of Hartmut Klauck.
I obtained my masters from École Normale Supérieure de Cachan (ENS de Cachan) (thesis advisor: Iordanis Kerenidis) and from Chennai Mathematical Institute (CMI). (thesis advisor: Meena Mahajan).
News: Masters positions are available in quantum complexity theory. Contact me if you are interested.
