About

My research addresses the construction and cryptanalysis of quantum-secure schemes and provably guaranteeing their security in the appropriate security models. Moreover, I am interested in how to transition cryptographic protocols and applications to be quantum-secure.

I am a researcher at SandboxAQ, CA, USA, located in Germany. Before I have been affiliated to the Technische Universität (TU) Darmstadt as a post doctoral researcher in the cryptoplexity group led by Marc Fischlin. Until early 2022, I have been affiliated the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) as a post doctoral fellow at the Department of Combinatorics & Optimization at the University of Waterloo (UW) in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. At UW I have been working with Douglas Stebila and Michele Mosca. I have been a research visitor at the lattice program of the Simons Institute at UC Berkeley in spring 2020 and I interned at Microsoft Research, Redmond (US), during the summer 2019. Before, I was a post doctoral researcher in the Cryptography and computer algebra group at TU Darmstadt, Germany, where I received my Ph.D. in September 2018 under the supervision of Johannes Buchmann from TU Darmstadt.
