I am an Assistant Professor in the department of Computing Sciences at Bocconi University. My research focuses on mathematical aspects of cryptography, computer security, and quantum computing.
Prior to joining Bocconi, I was a tenure-track faculty at the Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy, and before that a postdoc at UC Berkeley and at Carnegie Mellon University. In fall 2019 I spent a semester as a research fellow at the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing. I completed my Ph.D. in 2019 at Friedrich-Alexander University, where my thesis was recognized with the Staedtler-Stiftung dissertation prize.
I was fortunate to be awarded an ERC starting grant and the Heinz-Maier Leibnitz prize.
