Visits of International Scientists

Many colleagues from all other the world visit us regularly for seminars and collaborations. We list only long visits here.

Jie Chen (assistant professor at ECNU, China) visited us for a month, in November. He collaborated with Fabien Laguillaumie, Benoît Libert and Damien Stehlé on functional encryption.

Jung Hee Cheon (professor at SNU, South Korea) and Changmin Lee (PhD student at SNU, South Korea) visited us for a month, in August. They collaborated with Damien Stehlé on the approximate greatest common divisor problem and its applications in homomorphic cryptography.

Internships

Mihai-Ioan Popescu (ENS de Lyon) did a Master 1 internship from May to July, under the supervision of Damien Stehlé. He worked on heuristic algorithms for short lattice vector enumeration.

François Colas (U. Grenoble) did a Master 2 internship from March to June, under the supervision of Damien Stehlé. He worked on lattice-based homomorphic encryption.

Catalin Cocis (ENS de Lyon) did a Master 2 internship from February to June under the supervision of Fabien Laguillaumie. He worked on the implementation of multilinear maps.

Laura Chira (Technological U. of Cluj, Romania) did an L3 Summer internship from July to September 2014. This internship was supervised by Benoît Libert and devoted to the implementation of pseudo-random functions based on hard algorithmic problems in lattices.

Thomas Grégoire (ENS de Lyon) did a Master 2 internship from February to June under the supervision of Nicolas Brisebarre. He designed some tools for the certified approximation of functions in various orthogonal bases.

Saurabh Yadav (2nd year student, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, India) did a Summer internship supervised by Benoît Libert in July and August 2014. The goal was to study and survey the applications of a cryptographic primitive built on top of multi-linear maps and called “indistinguishability obfuscation.”
