ABOUT

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Technical University of Munich in the group of Professor Antonia Wachter-Zeh. I completed my Ph.D. in Mathematics under the supervision of Professor Joachim Rosenthal at the University of Zurich. My research interests include cryptography, algebraic coding theory and number theory.

Come to my talk at ACCESS!
