David Joseph

David Joseph gained a PhD at Imperial College London in quantum computing to break lattice-based cryptosystems. During this time he investigated methods derived from adiabatic quantum algorithms, implementing attacks on the D-Wave quantum annealer, and utilizing quantum machine learning techniques. In April 2020 David joined a Quantum&AI team inside of X, The Moonshot Factory at Alphabet, continuing to work at the interface of quantum computing and cybersecurity. There he started a group looking into the transition from quantum-vulnerable cryptography to PQC. He has remained a part of this team ever since, before joining SandboxAQ as a founding employee. David is an author of the Nature paper “Transitioning Organizations to Post-Quantum Cryptography”, published in May 2022.
