معرفی
Noah Stephens-Davidowitz is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Cornell University, with affiliations to the Applied Mathematics and Mathematics fields. He holds a Ph.D. from New York University (2017), advised by Oded Regev and Yevgeniy Dodis. His research focuses on lattices, theoretical computer science, cryptography, and geometry. Previously, he was a Simons Institute fellow, a postdoc at MIT and Princeton, and a visiting researcher at the Institute for Advanced Study.
Education: Ph.D. in Computer Science from New York University (2017). Affiliated colleges at Cornell include the Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science, College of Arts and Sciences, and College of Engineering.
Research Interests: Lattice-based cryptography, algorithmic complexity, geometric algorithms, and cryptographic hardness assumptions. His work bridges theoretical foundations and practical applications, including secure messaging protocols, cryptographic protocol design, and lattice reduction techniques.
Notable Contributions: Developed reverse Minkowski theorems, advanced lattice reduction algorithms, and analyzed computational hardness of lattice problems. His work on secure messaging with reverse firewalls and time-space tradeoffs for function inversion has been influential in cryptography.
Advising: Supervises four PhD students: Yael Eisenberg, Kyle Fridberg, Surendra Ghentiyala, and Spencer Peters. Active in program committees for conferences like CRYPTO, FOCS, and STOC.
Labs/Teams: Involved in the Simons Collaboration on Algorithms and Geometry, and contributes to lattice-based cryptography research initiatives at Cornell's College of Computing and Information Science.
