Valerie is a PhD student working with Christophe Petit at ULB, supported by a FRIA grant. In particular, her research is in the field of isogeny-based cryptography, a type of post-quantum cryptography. She is interested in assessing the security of cryptosystems, looking for vulnerabilities, but also in making algorithmic improvements to achieve faster runtimes. She did a master’s on the same topic, but her background is in pure mathematics.
