Hello, I am Qingju Wang (王庆菊).
I hold a Junior Professor Chair (CPJ) position at Telecom Paris, Institut Polytechnique de Paris since 2023.
Before I worked as a postdoc at the University of Luxembourg and Technical University of Denmark, and I obtained my PhD from COSIC KU Leuven (Belgium).
I am a co-designer of several cryptographic primitives or ciphers including
authenticated encryption schemes FIDES, PRIMATEs and SPARKLE (a finalist of the NIST lightweight crypto standardization process),
zero-knowledge-friendly hash function GRIFFIN, and
hybrid homomorphic encryption suitable cipher PASTAv2.
My current research interest is symmetric key cryptography (analysis and design of block ciphers, stream ciphers and authenticated encryption), and its applications in multi-party computation, homomorphic encryption and zero-knowledge proof.
What's new?
March 2024: I have internship positions available. Candidates with a strong background in Mathematics (esp. Computer Algebra) are very welcome to apply. When you apply, please send your CV and transcripts of Bachelor's and Master's.
August 2023: Our article "Algebraic Attacks on Round-Reduced RAIN and Full AIM-III" has been accepted by ASIACRYPT 2023
March 29, 2021: SPARKLE becomes one of the ten Finalists of the NIST lightweight crypto standardization process!
