Luca De Feo

Research Staff Member at IBM Research Europe

Luca De Feo is a researcher at IBM Research Europe working on quantum-safe cryptography. He graduated from École Polytechnique in 2010 with a thesis on isogeny computations; He has been computing them ever since.

Betül Durak

Senior Researcher, Microsoft Redmond, USA

I am a cryptography researcher at Microsoft Research (MSR) in Redmond. I am trained in applied cryptography during my Ph.D. under the supervision of David Cash. For my post-doc, I was a member of LASEC led by Serge Vaudenay where I stayed for two years. Prior to MSR, I worked at Bosch Research in Pittsburgh as a research engineer.


In my 3 years at MSR, I have researched on how to bring more privacy to the end users without harming security of the platforms and providers. Recently, I have started thinking about such privacy-security trade-offs that emerge in new technologies. More specifically, I am interested in techniques and notions of preventing disruptions in communication due to Artificial Intelligence.
