Aikata Aikata
Dipl.-Ing. B.Tech.Secure Systems, PhD Candidate
Aikata is in her 3rd year of PhD 🎓✨. She received her Master's degree (with distinction) in Computer Science from TU Graz in 2022 and her master's thesis, titled “Efficient Polynomial Arithmetic Architecture for Saber and Dilithium” received the 1st prize in the TU Graz Forum Technology and Society 2022. She did her bachelor's in technology from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bhilai in Computer Science. She intends to explore lattice-based cryptography applications and Europe during her Ph.D.
Aikata recently won all the initial three FHERMA challenges. FHERMA is a platform for Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) challenges jointly developed by Fair Math and the OpenFHE teams. The main goal of the project is to develop an open-source library of FHE components. The initial focus will be on components for Machine Learning and Blockchain applications.
