Lena Heimberger
Dipl.-Ing. BScCryptology & Privacy, Research Staff
Lena Heimberger is a first year PhD Student at Graz University of Technology, advised by Prof. Christian Rechberger. Before this, she completed ber Dipl.Ing.(equivalent to MSc) in Computer Science, with a major in IT Security and a minor in Embedded and Mobile Systems. Before that, she studied Secure Information Systems at the University of Applied Sciences, Upper Austria. Her main research interests focus on low-level privacy-preserving primitves in a post-quantum setting.
Research
My interests include mathematical cryptography, scaleable and privacy-preserving protocols, general public key cryptography, and distributed computing. I currently focus on basic primitives from supersingular isogenies and lattices. As a side project, I investigate quantum-assisted computing.
If you are looking for a master’s thesis please write me an e-mail so we can discuss it. I currently do not supervise bachelor’s theses as I already have several students.
Teaching
I teach cryptography as a part of:
- Mathematical Foundations of Cryptography (WS 2022/2023)
- Modern Public Key Cryptography (SS 2023)
