Working with me

Internships or Research Visits

I am happy to host internship students interested in my area of research, but I do not have funding for this myself. You need to apply for a scholarship, for example from Erasmus+ or Fulbright, after which we can help you find affordable student housing. Please also see the NTNU page about placement students before sending me an email.

Master’s Thesis

I am happy to supervise master’s students in the Mathematical Sciences, Cyber Security and Data Communication, Digital Infrastructure and Cyber Security, or Security and Cloud Computing programs at NTNU. Please get in touch if you are enrolled in one of these programs, have top grades in at least two of the courses TTM4135 – Applied Cryptography and Network Security, TTM4138 – Wireless Network Security, TMA4160 – Cryptography, TMA4162 – Computational Algebra, TTM4195 – Blockchain Technologies and Cryptocurrencies, or TTM4205 – Secure Cryptographic Implementations, and are interested in writing a master’s thesis in cryptography.

PhD or Postdoc Positions

All my open positions are announced on my homepage and at iacr.org/jobs. All applications must be submitted through jobbnorge.no to be evaluated. I expect applicants to have a strong background in cryptography, and preferably also solid experience with either information security, algebra and number theory, algorithms and programming, theoretical computer science, or electrical engineering.

I like to work in teams, which is why most of my papers have three or more co-authors. I also like to meet regularly with my students, and you can expect a weekly one-hour meeting when we work together. When applying, make sure that your interests are aligned with my research and show that you have read some of my work.
