Dr. Artur Sowa is a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Saskatchewan, where he has been a faculty member since 2007. He earned his PhD from the City University of New York and held postdoctoral positions at CUNY and Yale University before spending several years in high-tech startups and entrepreneurial ventures.

Originally trained as a geometer, his research evolved toward harmonic analysis, quantum theory, and quantum technologies, including post-quantum cryptography. He is also a co-founder of Noumerica Data Security, Inc., where he works on alternative cryptographic architectures inspired by mathematical physics. Dr. Sowa enjoys thinking about the broader and future-facing dimensions of cybersecurity, taking a “bird’s-eye view” of how cryptographic systems must evolve in response to emerging technologies.

He values cross-disciplinary collaboration and approaches security questions from both a mathematical and systems-level perspective.
