Academic Achievements
- In his PhD thesis, he studied non-interactive protocols for the secure generation of common randomness.
Research Experience
- From May 2025 to August 2025, research fellow at the Simons Institute for the summer 2025 program on cryptography; from June 2024 to May 2025, postdoctoral researcher in the Cryptography Group at Bocconi University, hosted by Giulio Malavolta; from August 2020 to June 2024, PhD student in the Cryptography Group at Aarhus University, supervised by Peter Scholl and Ivan Damgård; from October 2022 to February 2023, visited Yuval Ishai at Technion, Haifa; from June to August 2022, intern at NTT Research (USA) under the supervision of Mark Zhandry.
Education
- In 2020, earned a master’s degree in mathematics from the University of Trento (Italy), graduating with honours. The studies were focused on cryptography and coding theory. The master thesis, titled 'Oblivious TLS via Multiparty Computation', was supervised by Ivan Damgård, Sven Trieflinger, and Roberto Zunino. In 2017, obtained a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from the University of Padova (Italy), graduating with honours. The bachelor thesis, concerning Wiener’s attack against RSA, was supervised by Alberto Tonolo.
Background
- Research interests: theoretical aspects of cryptography, including multiparty computation with minimal interaction (non-interactive MPC, homomorphic secret-sharing and pseudorandom correlation generators), advanced cryptographic primitives (obfuscation, attribute-based encryption and homomorphic encryption), lattice-based and code-based cryptography, and the study of security models, especially in their idealised forms.
