Andreas Hülsing

Andreas is an associate professor leading the Applied and Provable Security (APS) group at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). His research group and himself are currently supported by NWO under the Vidi grant “A solid theory for post-quantum cryptography”. Besides, he is collaborating in the Formosa project to produce machine-checked proofs for high-assurance cryptographic software.  His research focuses on post-quantum cryptography – cryptography that resists quantum computer-aided attacks. His works range from theoretical works, like how to model quantum attacks or formal security arguments in post-quantum security models, to applied works, like the analysis of side-channel attacks or the development of efficient hash-based signature schemes.  In many of his works he tries to combine the theoretical and the applied perspective. This is especially reflected in his work on standardizing post-quantum cryptography.

Previously, he held positions as assistant professor and postdoctoral researcher in the Coding Theory and Cryptology group, working with Tanja Lange in the PQCRYPTO project. Before that he was a postdoctoral researcher in the cryptographic implementations group at TU/e, working with Daniel J. Bernstein. He did his PhD in the cryptography and computer algebra group at TU Darmstadt under the supervision of Johannes Buchmann. Before starting his PhD, he worked as a research fellow at Fraunhofer SIT in Darmstadt. He hold a Diploma in computer science from TU Darmstadt.
