Sebastian Bitzer

Sebastian Bitzer is a researcher at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), affiliated with the Chair of Coding and Cryptography led by Prof. Wachter-Zeh. He is part of the Institute of Communications Engineering within the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology. His work focuses on cryptography, coding theory, and error-correcting codes with applications in post-quantum security and algorithmic design.

Key research interests include code-based cryptography, decoding algorithms for non-binary cyclic codes, and the development of secure cryptographic protocols. Recent studies explore zero-knowledge proofs, syndrome decoding attacks, and error structure-aware decoding methods. Bitzer has contributed to submissions for NIST post-quantum cryptography standardization and advanced decoding techniques in parallel channels.

Publications highlight innovations in signature schemes (e.g., FuLeeca), burst error correction, and metric-based coding strategies. His work bridges theoretical coding advancements with practical cryptographic implementations. No specific grants or awards are explicitly mentioned in the provided texts, though his active publication record suggests ongoing academic engagement.
