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.
