Luisa Siniscalchi

Luisa Siniscalchi is an Assistant Professor (tenure track) in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), affiliated with the Cybersecurity Engineering Center and the Center for Quantum Technologies. Her research lies at the intersection of cryptography, cybersecurity, and theoretical computer science.

Her research interests focus on secure multiparty computation (MPC), zero-knowledge proofs, non-malleable and deniable protocols, post-quantum cryptography, and cryptographic primitives. She investigates foundational aspects of secure computation under minimal assumptions, aiming to achieve optimal round complexity and strong security guarantees in both synchronous and asynchronous settings.

The recent publications highlight a consistent trend in designing efficient, secure, and practical cryptographic protocols, particularly in MPC and deniable authentication. Her work often appears in top-tier venues such as EUROCRYPT, CRYPTO, and TCC, demonstrating strong theoretical rigor and innovation. Key themes include black-box constructions, post-quantum security, and privacy-preserving mechanisms.
