Biography

I am an Associate Professor at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) where I am heading the Coding and Cryptography (COD) group. I am a recipient of an ERC Starting Grant and the DFG Heinz Maier-Leibnitz-Preis.

From 2016 to 2020, I was a Rudolf Mößbauer Tenure Track Assistant Professor at TUM and a Fellow at the TUM Institute for Advanced Study (TUM IAS).

From 2013 to 2016, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Computer Science Department of the Technion---Israel Institute of Technology in the group of Tuvi Etzion, Ronny Roth, and Eitan Yaakobi.

From 2009 to 2013, I was a PhD student and teaching assistant under the co-supervision of Martin Bossert at the Institute of Communications Engineering, Ulm University, Germany, and Pierre Loidreau at the Institut de Recherche Mathématique de Rennes (IRMAR), Université de Rennes 1, Rennes, France.

My main research interests are coding theory, post-quantum cryptography (code- and lattice-based), efficient algorithms, security, privacy, machine learning, and applying error-correcting codes to communications, security, and storage in general, in particular to coded computing, DNA storage, network coding, non-volatile memories, distributed data storage, machine learning, and physical unclonable functions.

Research Topics

Post-Quantum Cryptography

The recent developments of a quantum supercomputers has motivated research on post-quantum cryptography. Assuming an attack of a sufficiently large quantum computer, several classical public-key algorithms as RSA and elliptic curve cryptography become insecure since computationally intensive mathematical problems become easy-to-solve. It is therefore necessary to design techniques which are secure against an attack of a quantum computer. One approach to achieve this security is code-based cryptography, where encryption and decryption is based on encoding and decoding an algebraic code; another one is based on hard problems in lattices. We investigate and improve post-quantum cryptographic schemes.

Coding for Insertions/Deletions and DNA Storage

The Levenshtein distance, also known as the edit distance, is a measure of similarity between two strings evaluated based on the minimum number of insertion/deletion operations required to transform one string into the other. Codes for correcting insertions and deletions were first proposed for communication applications in the presence of synchronization or sampling errors. However, insertions, deletions, and duplications have particular importance also for numerous applications in bioinformatics such as DNA storage. DNA storage is recently attracting attention as a dense and robust concept for archival storage. The data is written on DNA strands by synthesis and read by DNA sequencing. DNA storage has to cope with sequence losses, loss of ordering of the sequences, and symbol errors such as insertions, deletions and subtitutions.

(Private) Coded Computing and Machine Learning

We investigate how distributed computations of machine learning algorithms such as matrix multiplication can be done while guaranteeing privacy constraints and while coping with slow or failing devices.

Coding for Storage

Data storage media like flash memories (used in USB flash drives or solid state drives) suffer from manufacturing imperfections, wearout, and fluctuating read/write errors. In distributed data storage (necessary for cloud storage systems), the most common problem are failures of servers and the task is to reconstruct the lost data efficiently. It is therefore necessary to design coding solutions tailored to these storage applications.

 Network Coding and Rank-Metric Codes

The principle of network coding has been attracting growing attention in the recent years as a technique to disseminate information in data networks. The reason for this interest is that network coding achieves higher throughput than routing. In routing, the packets are simply forwarded at each node of the network, whereas in network coding, the nodes perform linear combinations of all packets received so far. Fundamental questions in the area of network coding include assigning appropriate linear combinations to the nodes and choosing a suitable error-correcting code for the case when erroneous packets occur or packets are lost. Rank-metric codes are thereby of relevance, not only for network coding but also for space time codes and code-based cryptography.

List Decoding

List decoding is a major technique for increasing the error correcting capability of codes. The basic idea of list decoding is to return not only a unique decoding result (which is only possible up to half the minimum distance of the corresponding code), but to return all codewords in a certain radius around the received word. This enables us to decode more errors at the cost of a usually small list. Practically, list decoding is used in concatenated coding schemes. Apart from explicit list decoding algorithms, a fundamental question is whether list decoding in a certain metric up to a certain radius can be done in polynomial time.

Private Information Retrieval

Private information retrieval (PIR) studies the problem when a user wants to retrieve a file from a storage system without revealing the identity of the file in question to the storage servers. Private information retrieval (PIR) studies the problem when a user wants to retrieve a file from a storage system without revealing the identity of the file in question to the storage servers. The files that are stored on the servers might be coded (e.g., to prevent server failures) and some servers might be communicating with each other. We investigate PIR schemes that guarantee either information-theoretic privacy or computational privacy.

Fast Algorithms

Fast or efficient algorithms for performing certain polynomial and matrix operations are important in several applications, including coding theory. Our studies include fast algorithms for decoding Gabidulin codes, including fast algorithms for performing certain operations with linearized polynomials.

Physical Unclonable Functions

A Physical Unclonable Function (PUF) is a digital circuit that possesses an intrinsic randomness resulting from process variations. This randomness is exploited to generate random keys for cryptographic applications which can be reproduced on demand. Thus, no embedded physically secure non-volatile memory is needed. However, the regeneration of a key is not perfect due to environmental factors such as temperature variations and aging effects of the digital circuit. These variations can be seen as an erroneous channel and therefore error-correcting codes increase the reliability of key regenerations.

Coding for Communications, Reed--Solomon Codes, Cyclic Codes

In communications, error-correcting codes are an indispensable means to cope with errors which happen during the transmission. This includes classical error-correcting codes like Reed--Solomon and BCH codes, but also e.g., staircase codes which are used in optical communication systems.
