I obtained in 1993 the degree of electronics engineer at the University of Leuven, Belgium (K.U.Leuven). Subsequently, I obtained a grant from the Flemish Fund for Scientific Research and became PhD. student at the computer security research group COSIC, department ESAT of the same university.
In 1997, I finished my doctoral dissertation on the design and analysis of block ciphers. I continued my researching activities in the COSIC research group, collaborating on several occasions with my friend and former colleague Dr. Joan Daemen. One of our joint projects resulted in the algorithm Rijndael, which in October 2000 was selected by the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) to become the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).
From August 1st, 2001, I have been working with Cryptomathic as chief cryptographer. Since October 2004, I am full professor at the Graz University of Technology (Austria).
