Pierre Briaud

Since January 2024, I am a post-doctoral researcher in the Cryptography department of Simula UiB. I am interested in algebraic cryptanalysis, applied to various constructions.

Prior to that, I was a PhD student at Inria Paris and Sorbonne Université where I was advised by Jean-Pierre Tillich.
