Invited speakers

Youness LAMZOURI

Youness Lamzouri is a Professor of Mathematics at the Institut Elie Cartan de Lorraine (IECL) of the Université de Lorraine in Nancy, France and a member of the Institut Universitaire de France (IUF). His research interests are in analytic and probabilistic number theory. He is interested in various questions concerning character sums and exponential sums, the theory of the Riemann zeta function and L-functions, prime number races, class numbers of quadratic fields, Fourier coefficients of modular forms, as well as random multiplicative functions.

Alice PELLET-MARY

Alice Pellet-Mary is a CNRS researcher (chargée de recherche) at the University of Bordeaux. Her research concerns lattice based cryptography. More specifically, she is interested in algorithmic questions related to algebraic lattices (i.e., algorithms for computing short vectors, relations between different algorithmic problems, relations between different algebraic structures...). Occasionally, she can also be interested in cryptanalysis of candidate obfuscators.

Benjamin SMITH

Benjamin Smith is a research scientist (chargé de recherche) at INRIA; he works in the GRACE project-team at LIX, the computing laboratory of École polytechnique. He is also an adjunct professor (professeur chargé de cours) in the computer science department at École polytechnique. He does research in algorithmic arithmetic geometry and number theory, and their applications in asymmetric cryptography. He is particularly interested in: primitive operations in curve-based and number-theoretic cryptosystems, efficient implementation of pre- and post-quantum cryptosystems, efficient algorithms for elliptic and hyperelliptic curves, and explicit constructions and algorithms for isogenies and endomorphisms in higher genus.

Katherine E. STANGE

Katherine E. Stange is a Canadian-American mathematician and an associate professor of mathematics at the University of Colorado Boulder. She is a number theorist specializing in topics in arithmetic geometry. Her research interests include: arithmetic geometry, elliptic curves, algebraic and integer sequences, cryptography, arithmetic dynamics, Apollonian circle packings, and game theory.
