Hello
My name is Michele Orrù (@mmaker). I am a postdoc researcher at UC Berkeley, under the supervision of Alessandro Chiesa. Before, I was a PhD student at ENS as part of the Crypto Team (Inria Project - Team CASCADE), under the supervision of Georg Fuchsbauer. I defended in April 2020.
These days I mostly work on theoretical cryptography, focusing on multi-party computation and zero-knowledge proofs. In the past, I have contributed to Python, Debian, and Tor. I completed my graduate work in math at the University of Trento.
