Ashwin Nayak

 
 

I studied computer science at Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (B.Tech., 1995) and at University of California, Berkeley (Ph.D., 1999).


After holding post-doctoral positions at DIMACS Center (Rutgers University and AT&T Labs-Research), and California Institute of Technology, I joined University of Waterloo in 2002. I was an associate faculty member at Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics during 2003–11.


My research primarily revolves around quantum information and computation, with an emphasis on algorithms, complexity, and communication. I continue to work more broadly on related topics in theoretical computer science.
