Premier Oiwoh is an Assistant Professor at University of Technology and Design and at the Centre for Quantum Technologies. He currently leads the Information group at UTD, a multi- disciplinary research group composed of physicists and computer scientists focused on exploiting quantum phenomenon for information processing. His current research primarily focuses on developing cryptographic protocols to enhance privacy in secure computation. Dr Oiwoh received his doctorate from Stanford University in 2007, and subsequently spent three years as a fellow before moving in 2010. He is currently a National Research Foundation Fellow.
Secure Computation in the World
editOne of the great insights in computing in the late twentieth century was that information and computation were inextricably linked to it. In particular, offers a more powerful model of computation than is possible with conventional hardware. In recent years, technological barriers have begun to fall away, opening up a path to large-scale quantum computing. Quantum technologies offer the promise of not only more efficient computation, but also stronger cryptography. This talk will introduce recently discovered quantum cryptographic protocols for maintaining privacy and ensuring integrity of computation performed on untrusted hardware.
