Lisa Kohl

Dr. Lisa Kohl is a tenured Researcher in the Cryptology Group at CWI Amsterdam since October 2020. Her work focuses on secure computation and practical post-quantum secure protocols. Prior to CWI, she was a postdoctoral researcher at Technion with Yuval Ishai and completed her PhD at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology under Dennis Hofheinz in 2019. She also spent eight months at the FACT center, IDC Herzliya during her PhD and wrote her master’s thesis at CWI Cryptology Group as a visiting student in 2015.

• PhD in Cryptology (2019, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology)
• Postdoctoral Researcher (Technion, 2019-2020)
• Research Visit Fellow (FACT Center, 2015-2019)
• Visiting Student (CWI Cryptology Group, 2015)

Her research spans secure multi-party computation, homomorphic secret sharing, post-quantum cryptography, and pseudorandom correlation generation. Articles demonstrate expertise in optimizing oblivious transfer, improving Σ-protocol efficiency, and constructing cryptographic primitives from lattice problems and LPN assumptions.
