Claude is a professor at the École de Technologie Supérieure and obtained his Ph.D. in Computer Science from MIT in 1990, working in the field of cryptography with Silvio Micali as his Ph.D. advisor and with Gilles Brassard as his MSc advisor. Claude  was a member of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research program on Quantum Information Processing from 2002 to 2012 and is best known for his fundamental work in zero-knowledge proof, multi-party computing, quantum cryptography, and quantum teleportation.  In 1993, along with Charles H. Bennett, Gilles Brassard, and others, Claude invented quantum teleportation. His 1988 STOC paper with David Chaum and Ivan Damgård on secure multi-party computation received the ACM STOC 30-year Test of Time Award in 2021. In 2013, he was elected as a Fellow of the IACR.
