Current Position

Currently I am a postdoc in the crypto group at the University of Århus. My host is Ivan Damgård.


Research Interests

I am interested in the field of Cryptography, with a focus on secure protocols and efficiency. This research concentrates on the problem of constructing secure protocols that are both highly efficient and have rigorous proofs of security. In my research I consider different adversary models and definitions of security, with the aim of obtaining the highest efficiency and security possible. I am also interested in developing new models that capture real-world scenarios. My goal is to design efficient protocols for these models for practical usage.

During my Ph.D. I worked with my advisor Yehuda Lindell mostly on secure two-party computation for specific problems of interests.A summary of this research can be found in my Ph.D. Thesis on "Efficient Two-Party Computation with Simulation Based Security".

During my master I worked with Moshe Lewenstein on string matching algorithms.My M.Sc. Thesis is on "Parameterized Matching".
