Katharina Boudgoust's Homepage

Since February 2024, I am a CNRS researcher (Chargée de Recherche) and part of the ECO Team of the LIRMM research institute in Montpellier in France.

Prior to this, I was from 2022 to 2023 postdoc in the Cryptography and Security Team of the Aarhus University in Denmark, hosted by Peter Scholl.

From 2018 to 2021, I was a PhD student within the EMSEC team at the IRISA Laboratory in Rennes under the supervision of Adeline Roux-Langlois and Pierre-Alain Fouque.
