Research
My research focuses on the analysis and construction of Boolean functions and other functions over finite fields and vector spaces with optimal cryptographic properties (APN functions, planar functions, and others). I am also interested in the design of algorithms for testing properties of such functions, and in efficient implementations of algorithms and search procedures.
