Where quantum computing meets the edge.

My research sits at the intersection of embedded systems, connected devices and quantum‑enhanced computation asking how far intelligence can move toward the sensor without losing security, efficiency or reliability.

01 · Field

Research focus

Quantum‑Enhanced IoT

Investigating where quantum algorithms can realistically plug into IoT pipelines from optimisation to secure key exchange without breaking real‑time constraints.

Intelligent Embedded Architectures

Designing embedded hardware/software architectures that carry AI inference closer to the sensor, balancing latency, power and accuracy.

Secure Connected Systems

Studying secure communication schemes for constrained IoT devices, and how emerging quantum‑safe methods could apply at the edge.
