Monika Trimoska

Monika Trimoska is an Assistant Professor at the Coding Theory and Cryptology group at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), where she has worked since 2023. Previously, she was a postdoc at Radboud University and obtained her Ph.D. in cryptography at the University of Picardie Jules Verne under the supervision of Gilles Dequen and Sorina Ionica. She has also served as a Teaching and Research Assistant at her alma mater.

• Current Affiliation: Assistant Professor, TU/e (2023–present)
• Previous Affiliations: Postdoc at Radboud University (2021–2023), Teaching/Research Assistant at University of Picardie (2017–2021)

Research Interests revolve around cryptanalysis of post-quantum cryptosystems, focusing on multivariate, code-based, and isogeny-based systems. Her work bridges theoretical and practical security analysis, particularly through SAT solvers and fault injection attacks.

Recent Publications demonstrate expertise in algebraic attacks against digital signature schemes like MQ-Sign and CSIDH, with a focus on code equivalence problems, trilinear forms, and parallel collision search. She has also contributed to homomorphic encryption applications.

Teaching Activities include courses on Applied Number Theory and Algebra and guest lectures on isogeny-based cryptography at Radboud University. She has co-supervised multiple Ph.D., Master’s, and Bachelor’s students.

Technical Contributions include open-source tools like WDSat (SAT solver for Weil descent) and MCE (Matrix Code Equivalence implementations).
