Nicolas Resch

Hello! I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Cryptology Group at the Centrum Wiskunde en Informatica (CWI), hosted by Ronald Cramer. I am working in the intersection of coding theory and cryptography, with the goal of designing efficient quantum-secure cryptographic protocols.

Prior to coming to the CWI, I obtained my PhD from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), where I was fortunate to be advised by Venkatesan Guruswami and Bernhard Haeupler. There, I mostly focused on coding theory and related notions in pseudorandomness.
