Summary
Narayanan Rengaswamy is a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Arizona specializing in classical and quantum coding theory, quantum computing, networking, and communications. With a PhD from Duke University and a postdoc under Prof. Bane Vasic, he brings a decade of research experience translating information-theoretic ideas into practical error-correction methods for emerging quantum technologies. His work spans both theoretical foundations and applied analysis—evidenced by dissertations and theses available on arXiv—and includes industry research on spatially-coupled LDPC codes at Bell Labs. Narayanan has a strong track record mentoring students and collaborating across academia and industry, from capstone teaching at Texas A&M to internships at Ericsson and Alcatel‑Lucent. He combines deep coding-theory expertise with hands-on experience in optical and burst-erasure channel models, positioning him to advance reliable quantum networks as they move toward deployment. Located in Tucson, he actively bridges rigorous theory with experimental and systems-level challenges in quantum communications.
