معرفی
Jack Doerner is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the University of Virginia. His research focuses on cryptography, particularly secure multi-party computation, threshold cryptography, and oblivious RAM (ORAM). Previously, he held postdoctoral positions at Brown University (hosted by Anna Lysyanskaya) and jointly at the Technion and Reichman University (hosted by Yuval Ishai and Elette Boyle). He completed his PhD at Northeastern University, advised by Abhi Shelat.
His work spans foundational advancements in cryptographic protocols, including threshold ECDSA, modular analysis of broadcast protocols, and scalable ORAM solutions. Notable contributions include the first constant-round coin tossing extension with guaranteed output and efficient secure stable matching at scale. His research emphasizes practical efficiency and security in distributed systems.
Doerner also engages in artistic endeavors, creating films, photography, and sculptures that explore perception and space. His art has been exhibited in galleries such as the Second Street Gallery in Charlottesville.
Publications highlight contributions to secure computation frameworks, threshold signatures, and cryptographic protocols. His work addresses challenges in distributed systems, privacy-preserving algorithms, and foundational cryptographic assumptions.
