Research

My interests lie in the domains of algebraic geometry and number theory, and applications of these to cryptography. More specific keywords:

  • Algebraic curves.
  • Curve-based cryptography (discrete-log based or isogeny-based).
  • Lattice-based cryptography (learning with errors and applications to fully homomorphic encryption).
  • Toric geometry and the combinatorics of lattice polytopes.
