About me

I am currently a Presidential Postdoctoral Fellow at Virginia Tech. I used to be a postdoctoral researcher with IMUVa, University of Valladolid. My main research interest is algebraic coding theory, particularly its connections with commutative algebra and algebraic geometry, and its applications to quantum error correction and cryptography.
Here are some quotes that I like:

My full name is Rodrigo San José Rubio.
