About Me

I am a researcher at Fraunhofer AISEC and a PhD candidate at the TUM School of Computation, Information and Technology, Technical University of Munich. My research focuses on lattice-based cryptography and developing efficient hardware implementations for these schemes. With a strong background in FPGA design, digital circuit design, and verification, I work on making lattice-based cryptographic primitives practical and performant in hardware.

My work spans the development of hardware accelerators for lattice-based cryptography as well as their integration into secure hardware platforms. While my current publications focus on post-quantum cryptography, my broader research interests encompass the full spectrum of lattice-based cryptographic applications.
