I am currently a Research Fellow at the University of Birmingham, working with Christophe Petit in the EPSRC project Post-Quantum Cryptography: a Cryptanalysis Approach.
I am about to graduate from the joint Ph.D. programme at Université de Neuchâtel and University of Bristol in Switzerland and the UK under the supervision of Elisa Lorenzo García and Chloe Martindale. My viva will be in November. Before that, I was a master's student at Boğaziçi University supervised by Ekin Özman.
