Majid Haghparast

Majid Haghparast serves as an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Information Technology at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, with a sabbatical research fellowship at Johannes Kepler University (Linz, Austria) from April 2017 to January 2018.

His research spans Software Engineering, Quantum Computing, and High Performance Computing, with concentrated expertise in Quantum Algorithms, Reversible Computation, Quantum dot Cellular Automata, and Multiple-Valued Logic. He investigates fault-tolerant quantum systems, ternary logic implementations, and quantum software development frameworks, bridging theoretical quantum principles with practical nanoscale computing applications.

Recent publications (2024-2025) reveal dominant trends in quantum circuit optimization, reversible logic design for ternary/qutrit systems, and quantum software tool development. Key contributions include efficient quantum hardware components (comparators, multiplexers, flip-flops) using quantum-dot cellular automata, alongside advancements in quantum communication protocols and algorithm simulation tools.

Professor Haghparast has supervised over 10 PhD and 150 MSc theses. He leads the SeQuSoS project (Securing the Quantum Software Stack) and DEQSE (Developer Experience in Iterative Quantum Software Engineering), addressing quantum software security and programming usability challenges.

He co-leads the Empirical Software Engineering Research group and heads the Quantum Information and Computation Team, which actively explores quantum computational boundaries through projects like SeQuSoS and DEQSE.
