About me

In February 2008 I joined Department of Mathematics of Technical University of Denmark to work there as a postdoctoral researcher in the crypto group directed by prof. L.R. Knudsen.

Between August 2007 and February 2008 I was employed as a research fellow in Department of Computing, Macquarie University. I belonged to the Centre for Advanced Computing - Algorithms and Cryptography, (ACAC). I was working mainly on the analysis of cryptographic hash functions.

On 9/08/2007 I submitted my PhD thesis "Analysis of modern dedicated cryptographic hash functions" I was supervised by Josef Pieprzyk and Huaxiong Wang. On 13/12/2007 Academic Senate decided to award me the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. My thesis is available online. My PhD research in Australia was possible thanks to the iMURS scholarship.

Before coming to Australia I was employed as a research assistant in Department of Mathematics of Catholic University of Lublin for 1.5 years. I obtained my BSc. and MSc. degrees (combined) in mathematics from that university in 2002.

Research interests

My research interests concentrate on mathematical methods of analysis of symmetric cryptographic primitives. I'm particularly interested in new mathematical models and tools facilitating analysis of cryptographic hash functions as well as in the complementary issue of designing secure primitives.
Apart from cryptanalysis, I'm also interested in broader problems of practical computer security.
