Novak Kaluđerović - Kolja

About me

My name is Novak Kaluđerović. Kolja [kolya] is my nickname.

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Cybersecurity lab of University of St. Gallen.

I defended my PhD in mathematics and computer science at the LACAL lab of École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland, under the supervision of Arjen Lenstra. In the last year of my PhD I was a member of LASEC where I was supervised by Serge Vaudenay.

Previously I was a master and bachelor student of mathematics at Sapienza - Università di Roma, in Italy.

Interests

My main interests lie in secure implementations of cryptographic protocols, side-channel attacks as well as defence from side-channels, and post-quantum cryptographic protocols. I am also fond of algebraic and computational number theory, both in the theoretical and implementation domain. I am passionate about coding in C, and working on low-level and high-efficiency implementations. Further interests include the theory of quantum computing and quantum algorithms.
