Professor Damien Stehlé is a faculty member at École Normale Supérieure de Lyon (ENS Lyon), where he is part of the AriC team within the Laboratoire de l'Informatique du Parallélisme (LIP). He is also a distinguished member of the Institut Universitaire de France. His research and teaching activities focus on cryptography, computational number theory, and computer algebra, with particular emphasis on lattice-based cryptographic systems.
Stehlé's research primarily centers on the computational aspects of Euclidean lattices and their applications in cryptography. He has made significant contributions to lattice-based cryptography, particularly in the context of post-quantum cryptography. His work addresses fundamental questions about the hardness of lattice problems, algorithmic improvements for lattice reduction, and the development of practical cryptographic schemes based on lattice assumptions. He has been actively involved in the NIST post-quantum cryptography standardization process, contributing to the analysis of lattice-based candidates like Kyber and Saber. His publications span theoretical foundations to practical implementations, demonstrating a rare ability to bridge abstract mathematics with real-world cryptographic applications.
Throughout his career, Stehlé has published extensively in top-tier cryptography and theoretical computer science venues. His research has been recognized with multiple best paper awards for groundbreaking contributions to the field.
- Best paper award at ASIACRYPT 2021 for 'On the hardness of the NTRU problem'
- Best paper award at ASIACRYPT 2015 for 'Improved security proofs in lattice-based cryptography'
- Best paper award at EUROCRYPT 2015 for 'Cryptanalysis of the Multilinear Map over the Integers'
Professor Stehlé has supervised numerous PhD students over the years, often collaborating with other leading researchers in the field. He serves on program committees of major cryptography conferences and is a member of editorial boards for prestigious journals including the Journal of Cryptology and Designs, Codes and Cryptography. His research group at LIP's AriC team is recognized as a leading center for lattice-based cryptography research in Europe.
