I’m interested in cryptography in distributed systems and multi-party computation.

I’m a postdoctoral researcher at COSIC, KU Leuven where I defended my PhD in September 2025. For my thesis, I worked on the MOZAIK project to realize scalable and secure data sharing and processing using secure multi-party computation (MPC). This included the evaluation of symmetric-key primitives in MPC. I implemented and co-designed symmetric-key primitives and modes of operations for this setting, and designed custom MPC protocols that are more efficient to evaluate selected primitives.

Before, I obtained a BSc and MSc Informatics from Technical University of Munich (TUM) and a MSc Informatics from École Polytechnique, Paris.
