Research Fellow
Capsule Bio
Paolo Santini received a Laurea degree in Electronic Engineering (summa cum laude) in 2014, a Laurea Magistrale degree in Electronic Engineering (summa cum laude) in 2016 and a PhD in Information Engineering in 2020, with a thesis entitled “On the use of structured codes for cryptographic applications”, by Marche Polytechnic University.
Since 2019 he is a postdoctoral researcher in Information Engineering at the Department of Information Engineering of Marche Polytechnic University.
In 2018 he has been a visiting student for two months at the Department of Mathematical Sciences, Florida Atlantic University; in 2020/2021, he has been a research fellow for four months in the same department.
He has participated, as a co-author of two proposals, to the 2017 NIST process for standardization of post-quantum public key cryptosystems.
He serves as Guest Editor for Cryptography and as a reviewer for many international journals and conferences.
He has been co-organizer of the seventh Code-Based Cryptography workshop in 2019, and the first edition of CBCrypto in 2020.
Research Areas:
His research activity is focused on coding theory and cryptography, with particular attention to post-quantum public-key cryptosystems based on codes.
