Nadish de Silva is a Canada Research Chair in the Mathematics of Quantum Computation and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Simon Fraser University.

 Broadly, his research interests include quantum information & computation, nonlocality & contextuality, and operator algebras & noncommutative geometry. He is keenly interested in helping to elucidate the structural origins of computational and communicational advantages in both concrete quantum models and abstract postclassical models. These questions sit at the foundations of logic, computer science, and physics and involve disparate areas of maths: e.g. algorithms & complexity theory, functional analysis, number theory, and category theory.

 His contributions to FoQaCiA will focus primarily on WP4 with connections to WP1 and WP2.
