Rei Safavi-Naini
Rei Safavi-Naini is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Calgary, Canada. She held NSERC/Telus Industrial Research Chair in Information Security until 2023, and Alberta Innovates Strategic Chair in Information Security until 2022. She is co-founder of Institute for Security, Privacy and Information Assurance at the University of Calgary.
She has served as the program chair of a number of conferences including Crypto, Asiacrypt, ASIACCS and Financial Cryptography, and was an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Information Theory (two terms), IEEE Transactions on Dependable and Secure Computing and ACM Transactions on Information and System Security (TISSEC).
Her research interest is at the intersection of theory and practice of cryptography. Her current research focusses on information theoretic cryptography, quantum-resistant cryptography and security of networked and decentralized systems. She was awarded the Fellowship of IACR in 2023.
Dörte Resch
Dörte Resch
Doerte Resch, PhD, is Professor of Organizational Psychology and Head of the Institute for Research and Development of Collaborative Processes at the School of Applied Psychology, University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland. Her work focuses on post-structural organization theory and its application in identity construction and change management. Especially, she has been exploring the relationship between images of professions and how this is linked to stereotypical gender constructions, applied in depth for the ICT-profession and career options female professors at Universities of Applied Sciences.
Anne Canteaut is a French researcher in cryptography, working at the
French Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control (INRIA) in Paris.
She was chair of the FSE steering committee in 2014-2023, and co-chair of Eurocrypt in 2020 and 2021.
Her main research interest include symmetric cryptography, sequences and finite fields. Most notably, her work focuses on the analysis of the mathematical properties of the building-blocks in symmetric primitives and on their impact on security.
She is also the co-designer of several cryptographic primitives, including the stream ciphers Sosemanuk, Decim and Kreyvium, the hash function Shabal and the block ciphers Prince and Saturnin.
In 2023, she was awarded the Irène Joliot-Curie Prize for the female scientist of the year by the French Academy of Sciences.
Agnès Leroy
Agnès Leroy
Agnès is a software engineer and expert in GPU programming.
She started out as a researcher in Computational Fluid Dynamics, where she worked on the GPU acceleration of a particle-based simulation method. She is the author of several publications in this field, and won several awards in the course of her PhD. After a few years contributing to various open source software projects, Agnès decided to focus on software development.
Before joining Zama, Agnès worked at EDF (Electricity of France) as a researcher, then at RTE (France's Transmission System Operator) as a software developer. She holds a Mechanical Engineering degree from Ecole des Ponts ParisTech and a Civil engineering degree from Universidade de Minas Gerais (Brazil). She also holds a PhD from Université Paris-Est.
Huijia (Rachel) Lin is an Associate Professor at the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington, where she holds the Paul G. Allen Development Professorship. Her areas of expertise are cryptography and its connections to the theory of computer science and security. She has made contributions to the foundations of program obfuscation, functional encryption, attribute based encryption, secure multiparty computation, non-malleability, and concurrent security.
Dr. Lin has received multiple honors. She received a US National Science Foundation CAREER award, a Hellman Fellowship, a Cisco research award, a JP Morgan Faculty award, and a Microsoft Research PhD Fellowship. In addition, she has won a best paper award at STOC 2021, a best paper award at Eurocrypt 2018, and a best paper award honorable mention at Eurocrypt 2016. In 2022, she was invited to speak at the International Congress of Mathematicians and was named "10 scientists to watch" by ScienceNews.
Before joining the University of Washington, Dr. Lin was an Assistant Professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara. She earned her PhD in Computer Science from Cornell University and completed postdoctoral research at MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and Department of Computer Science at Boston University.
Dakshita Khurana is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science. She works in Cryptography and related topics in Privacy, Security and Theoretical Computer Science. She obtained her PhD from UCLA, under the fantastic supervision of Prof. Rafail Ostrovsky and Prof. Amit Sahai.
She was recently a Google Research Fellow at the Simons Institute, Berkeley, and was names to Forbes List of 30 under 30 in Science. She has previously received the 2017-18 Dissertation Year Fellowship, the 2017-18 UCLA CS Outstanding Graduating Ph. D. Student Award, 2017-18 Symantec Outstanding Graduate Student Research Award, and the 2016-17 Cisco Outstanding Graduate Student Research Award.
