I am a PhD candidate at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) in the Cryptography group supervised by Krzysztof Pietrzak. During my studies, I also did an internship at IOG.

I am broadly interested in cryptography and its applications, especially distributed ledgers and privacy-preserving technologies. My past research investigated the use of non-standard physical resources (e.g., disk space or time) in cryptography.

Before joining ISTA, I completed the Bachelor with Honors program at TU Wien under the mentorship of Matteo Maffei. During this time, I also participated in CTFs playing with the team We_0wn_Y0u.
