Jiaxin Pan

I am an Associate Professor (førsteamanuensis) at NTNU (Norway).

Before that I was a postdoc at KIT (Germany) in the group of Dennis Hofheinz. In July 2016 I obtained my PhD from Ruhr-University Bochum (Germany) under the supervision of Eike Kiltz. I am interested in theoretical and practical cryptography in general.

Research Interests

  • Cryptosystems that are scalable (tightly secure) and suitable for Big Data applications

  • Foundations for large-scale privacy, such as (non-interactive) zero-knowledge proof systems

  • Efficient quantum-secure lattice-based cryptosystems

Very recently, I am passionate in proposing and improving security proofs for real-world protocols, which bridges the gap between theoretical and practical cryptography.
