Janoš Vidali

Assistant Professor at the University of Ljubljana's Faculty of Computer and Information Science (FRI) specializing in theoretical computer science and discrete mathematics. His research bridges cryptography, graph theory, and metric geometry with practical applications in algorithm design and security protocols.

Research Focus: Primary interests include cryptography (hash function analysis), graph theory (combinatorial structures, graph databases), and discrete geometry (metric cones, polyhedral combinatorics). His work demonstrates strong interdisciplinary connections between theoretical mathematics and computational problem-solving.

Publication Trends: Recent publications reveal a consistent focus on combinatorial structures with applications in both cryptography and geometry. His research combines rigorous mathematical proofs with computational implementations, particularly evident in metric space analysis and graph-theoretical frameworks.

Projects: Leads significant open-source initiatives including gap-graphs (computational graph theory) and GraphZOO (graph database), alongside the Kriptogram crypto portal for cryptographic education in Slovene.

Teaching: Maintains office hours by appointment with focus on advanced mathematical and cryptographic concepts. Integrates research directly into teaching through computational projects and open-source tools development.
