I am looking for a highly motivated student for a PhD position in broader areas of post-quantum cryptography. The candidate should be self-motivated and willing to work on challenging problems in cryptography.
The ideal candidate should have a good background in applied cryptography, number theory, and algorithm design/analysis skills. Familiarity with distributed ledger technology (DLT), lattices-based cryptography, hash-based signatures, and code-based cryptography would be a plus. Programming skills in Java, Golang, Python, and C++ are highly desirable. Familiarity with the implementation of various cryptographic primitives would be a plus.
Interested candidates should send their CV+ cover letter+ research plan to
