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 privacy, such as (non-interactive) zero-knowledge proof systems
Efficient quantum-secure lattice-based cryptosystems
Recently, I am passionate in proposing and improving security proofs for real-world protocols, which bridges the gap between theoretical and practical cryptography. I am also interested in fine-grained cryptography.
