About Me
I’m a Research Fellow at the Centre for Quantum Software and Information, School of Computer Science, University of Technology Sydney (UTS).
The surname Rowshan (and variants such as Roshan) originates from Persian/Avestan name raoxšna, meaning ‘bright’, ‘shining’, or ‘illuminated.’ While it shares ancient Indo-European roots with the English word ‘light’ and the Latin ‘lux,’ it carries a deeper cultural meaning implies intellectual enlightenment and spiritual clarity. While often a surname in the West and South Asia, it is widely used as a given name across Central Asia (often transliterated as Raushan). The variants Roshna and Roshni are specific feminine derivatives, referring to a ‘ray of light’ or ‘radiance,’ and are used almost exclusively for women. The name is also historically connected to Roshanak, better known in the West as Roxana, the wife of Alexander the Great.
Research Interests
I am passionate about tackling fundamental problems in the field, uncovering deep mathematical and structural properties along with their applications, and transforming abstract ideas into practical technologies. My research spans several interconnected areas:
- Quantum error-correction (QEC)
- Hardware-Constrained, Noise-Tailored, and Single-Shot qLDPC Codes
- Algebraic & Biased-Noise Tailored Decoding Algorithms
- Fault-Tolerant Native Non-Clifford Gates on qLDPC Architectures
- Decreasing monomial codes (polar codes, Reed-Muller codes, and their variants)
- Wireless communications and signal processing
- Hardware architecture design (Efficient VLSI Implementation of Algorithms)
- Machine learning
Education
- Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Monash University, 2021,
- M.Sc. in Integrated Circuit Design Engineering, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), 2016,
- B.Eng. (Hons) in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of Nottingham, 2015 (ranked 1).
During my doctoral studies, I spent six months at the Telecommunications Circuits Laboratory (TCL) at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland. I also have a Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Engineering and work experience in this field.
