معرفی
Mina Doosti is a Chancellor's Fellow (UK equivalent of tenure-track assistant professor) at the School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh, and affiliated with the Quantum Software Lab. She is a member of the Laboratory for Foundations of Computer Science research institute.
Education:
- PhD from University of Edinburgh under supervision of Elham Kashefi and Myrto Arapinis
- M.Sc. in Physics from Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran
- B.Sc. in Physics from Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran
Dr. Doosti's research focuses on the intersection of quantum information theory, quantum computing, cryptography, and learning theory. Her work establishes connections between computer science, physics, and mathematics to tackle theoretical problems and explore innovative applications for quantum technologies. She has particular expertise in quantum key distribution, quantum internet technologies, and real-world quantum verification on noisy hardware, with implications for security, privacy, and machine learning applications.
Scientific Awards:
- QUICS Hartree Fellowship from the Joint Center for Quantum Information and Computer Science in Maryland
Dr. Doosti has taught at the Okinawa School in Physics on quantum key distribution and the quantum internet at OIST alongside Artur Ekert. She is currently supervising a PhD opportunity in Real-World Quantum Verification on Noisy Hardware in collaboration with the UK National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC). She has served as a resident professor and long-term visitor at Institut Henri Poincaré (IHP) in Paris and is involved in organizing the 1st AIMS Workshop and School on The Theory of Quantum Learning Algorithms in Cape Town (October 2025).
Her work bridges theoretical computer science with practical quantum technology development through affiliations with the Laboratory for Foundations of Computer Science and Quantum Software Lab, focusing on making quantum computing more reliable and applicable to real-world problems.
