Marco Streng

Marco Streng is an Associate Professor and PhD director at the Mathematical Institute of Leiden University. His research focuses on the intersection of number theory, algebra, and geometry with applications to cryptography.

Research Interests:

• Number Theory: Specializing in complex multiplication, modular forms, and Diophantine approximation with emphasis on elliptic and hyperelliptic curves
• Algebraic Geometry: Working extensively with abelian varieties, genus two curves, and class invariants
• Cryptography: Applying theoretical results to practical cryptographic systems, particularly elliptic curve cryptography

His research bridges pure mathematical theory with practical applications, particularly in cryptographic protocols. His publication record shows consistent contributions to understanding class invariants, modular units, and height functions across various algebraic structures.

Academic Service:

• PhD director at the Mathematical Institute
• Organizer of the General Mathematics Colloquium
• Active participant in international conferences and workshops

Dr. Streng maintains strong international collaborations, particularly with researchers in France, Germany, and the United States, as evidenced by his extensive conference participation across Europe and North America.
