Ian Tan

Welcome to my page. I am a postdoc in the research group of Dominik Šafránek at Charles University in Prague. I received my PhD in Mathematics in 2025 from Auburn University, where I was a student of Luke Oeding. My research interests include quantum information theory. quantum error correcting codes, and entanglement. Here's my CV .
