Phillip Gajland
I am a Research Scientist in the Foundational Cryptography group at IBM Research Zurich. My research lies at the intersection of theory and practice, focusing on post-quantum cryptography, lattice-based key exchange and signatures, as well as secure messaging.
Previously I completed my PhD under the joint supervision of Giulio Malavolta at the Max Planck Institute for Security & Privacy, and Eike Kiltz at the Ruhr University Bochum, Germany 🇩🇪.
