Bio

I am a DPhil student in the Department of Materials at the University of Oxford. My supervisors are Simon Benjamin and Christophe Petit.
My interests are cryptography (especially privacy and anonymity) and quantum computing. Most of my existing research focuses on estimating quantum attack costs, such as:
- period-finding against lightweight block ciphers
- collimation sieving against CSIDH
- claw-finding attacks on SIKE
- Shor's algorithm against prime-modulus elliptic curves.
I have an MMath from the University of Waterloo, which Alfred Menezes and Michele Mosca co-supervised. I have a B.Sc. in math from the University of Regina.
You can view my github, look at my papers on Google scholar, or try out the library of quantum arithmetic I wrote during an internship at Microsoft. Mastadon profile.
