معرفی
Ann Dooms is a researcher at the Mathematics & Data Science department of the Free University of Brussels. With a PhD in Mathematics (2004), she specializes in Digital Mathematics focusing on Information Forensics and Security, Cryptography, and Quantum Computing.
- Algebra & Group/Ring Theory
- Quantum Cryptography
- Document Layout Analysis
Her fundamental research includes algebra, Fourier analysis, and wavelets, while strategic research involves digital forensics techniques like watermarking, steganography, and encrypted domain signal processing. Applied domains span AI, cultural heritage imaging, medical diagnostics, and secure cloud/edge computing.
Recent publications highlight quantum algorithms for cryptanalysis, layout-aware document chat frameworks, and heterogeneous graph embedding for table representation. Her work bridges mathematical theory with practical security applications, particularly in post-quantum cryptography and digital forensics.
- Apple ARTS Laureate (2010)
- ICDAR2019 Competition Winner (2019)
- Faculty Prize of Sciences (2000)
- SuperMinds Award (2014)
She supervises research projects like COMPASs 2.0 (AI systems) and Crypto Escape Room 4.0, while contributing to PhD committees and international conferences. Grants include Flemish Tier-1 SuperComputing funding (2023-2024) and OZR Basic Funding for Large Research Groups (2024-2029).
