Dr. Rashid Patel

VP of Quantum Research

Dr. Rashid Patel joined Cyberez in 2025 following our acquisition of Quantum Leap Labs, where he served as CEO and Chief Research Scientist. As VP of Quantum Research, he leads our post-quantum cryptography initiatives, ensuring our solutions remain resilient against quantum computing threats. His implementation of CRYSTAL-Kyber was selected by NIST as a quantum-resistant standard. Under his leadership, Quantum Leap Labs secured DARPA funding and published 47 peer-reviewed papers before the acquisition.
