Davide Li Calsi

I am PhD student in the PET group at TU Wien, under the supervision of Professor Dominique Schröder. My interests are very broad — name a random crypto-related topic, and I will probably love to work on it. This variety of interests is reflected in my works, which range from threshold Schnorr signatures, to lattice-based cryptography, to the theoretical foundations of cryptography. Prior to starting my PhD, I worked for two years as a research assistant at TU Munich, where I focused on Quantum Cryptography. Before that I completed my Bachelor of Science (2020) and Master of Science (2022) in Computer Engineering, both from Politecnico di Milano. During the final year of my Master’s program, I collaborated with Professor Fuyuki Ishikawa through a research internship at Japan’s National Institute of Informatics, where I researched the safety and security of deep neural networks.
