VIOLETTA WEGER
TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY OF MUNICH
ABOUT
Starting 1st of August, I am
a
Rudolf Mößbauer Tenure Track Assistant Professor for Applied Algebra in the Mathematics Department at the Technical University of Munich.
Previously, I was a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow
at the Technical University of Munich in the
group of Professor
Antonia Wachter-Zeh
and at Eindhoven University of Technology in the Mathematical Communication Theory group of Professor Alberto Ravagnani.
I obtained my Ph.D. in Mathematics at the University of Zurich under the supervision of Professor Joachim Rosenthal.
My research interests include cryptography, algebraic coding theory and number theory.
NEWS
- If you want to do a Ph.D. in algebraic coding theory or code-based cryptography, feel free to contact me!
- Happy to be an invited speaker at the Young Cryptographers Conference where I will talk about the on ramp call.!
- Glad to be group leader at the Virginia Tech - Swiss Summer School where I will talk about Code Equivalence!
- Excited to be a friend of finite geometry! Come to the Finite geometry and Friends Summer School!
- Thrilled to announce the special issue on code-based cryptography in Designs, Codes and Cryptography!
- Check out our new signature scheme CROSS using restricted errors. This is a round 1 candidate for the additional standardization call by NIST.
- Happy to be the main chair of CBCrypto 2024, an affiliated event with Eurocrypt 2024. See you in May in Zurich!
- If you are interested in learning about code-based cryptography, check out our survey! If you have any comments or additions to the survey, write me an email, as we plan to update it regularly.
