Dr. Siddhartha Das has joined Center for Security, Theory and Algorithms (CSTAR) as an Assistant Professor. He obtained his Ph.D from Louisiana State University, USA in the field of quantum information theory. Dr. Das was a postdoctoral fellow at Université libre de Bruxelles from  2019 to 2021. He has a BS-MS degree from Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Pune.

His current research interests are in quantum correlations, quantum Shannon theory, quantum communication protocols, and open quantum systems. He is keen on trying to understand physical laws of nature (universe) from an information-theoretic viewpoint. Apart from fundamental interest in understanding physical phenomena, it also helps in determining how well they can harness constraints on physical processes and systems to devise information processing, communication, and computational tasks for application purposes.
