Ittoop Puthoor

About

Ittoop is a Lecturer in the School of Computing at Newcastle University. He has a strong interdisciplinary research background in Computer Science and Physics. His interests is to develop and evaluate new quantum technologies for computing and communications. In particular, he is interested in the interplay between Physics and Computer Science, to develop new theories and tools for analysing and guaranteeing the security of quantum cryptosystems. Ittoop is associated with the AMBER group (Advanced Model-based Engineering). He was previously involved with the UK Quantum Technology hub for Quantum Communications, where he worked as a senior research associate. He worked in multidisciplinary projects concerning quantum cryptography, quantum information, quantum computing and measurements. Thi
