• Associate Professor, Oregon State University (2013-2025)
• Assistant Professor, University of Montana

Research Interests: Dr. Rosulek's research focuses on cryptographic protocols for secure computation, allowing parties to perform computations on private data without revealing the data itself. His work spans both theoretical foundations and practical implementations in areas like:

• Private set intersection protocols
• Garbled circuits optimization
• Secure computation against malicious adversaries
• Practical applications of cryptography
• Efficient oblivious transfer techniques

His recent publications demonstrate a consistent focus on improving efficiency and security in cryptographic protocols, with particular attention to making these techniques more practical for real-world applications.
