Maria Corte-Real Santos

I am currently a final year PhD student, part of the CDT for Cybersecurity and the Information Security group at University College London. My main interests are post-quantum cryptography, specifically isogeny-based protocols and applications. My main supervisors are Philipp Jovanovic and Sarah Meiklejohn.

Before starting my PhD, I completed my Undergraduate and Master’s degree in Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, specialising in Algebraic Number Theory and Elliptic Curves.

Organiser of The Isogeny Club, together with Jonathan Komada Eriksen.

I am passionate about communicating cryptography and mathematics to others, and have written a series of blog posts on isogeny-based cryptography, as well as giving a number of outreach talks to STEM students.
