Divesh Aggarwal

Divesh Aggarwal is an Associate Professor at the Department of Computer Science, National University of Singapore, and a Principal Investigator at the Centre for Quantum Technologies. He received his PhD from ETH Zurich under Prof. Ueli Maurer, focusing on theoretical cryptography. His research spans lattices, pseudorandomness, computational complexity, cryptography, and coding theory, with a focus on quantum-safe cryptographic systems.

• Research Themes: Lattice-based cryptography, quantum algorithms, computational complexity, non-malleable codes, and randomness extraction.
• Advising: Actively mentors graduate students in theoretical computer science and quantum computing.
• Professional Service: Serves on program committees for top conferences (CRYPTO, STOC, TCC, etc.) and editorial boards.

Group Activities: Organizes a weekly research seminar covering diverse topics in theoretical computer science, including lattice algorithms, quantum computing, and cryptographic protocols.
