Bio

Xoel Sixto graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Physics from the University of Santiago de Compostela in 2020 and completed a Master’s degree in physics, specializing in nuclear and particle physics at the same university, having finished in 2021. Currently, he focuses his predoctoral research on quantum cryptography, specifically, on trying to incorporate correlations in the security proofs of quantum key distribution.
