Wissam Ghantous
Hello! Welcome to my website.
I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the École Normale Supérieure (Paris). I have completed my PhD at the University of Oxford.
My main research interests are post-quantum cryptography (lattice based and isogeny based cryptography) and computational arithmetic number theory.

*The picture below is part of the supersingular isogeny graph Λ1873(2, 3) that I generated using SAGE. The prime 1873 is the smallest p such that both supersingular isogeny graphs Λp(2) and Λp(3) have no loops. Read more on this in my first paper.
