Dr. Nico Döttling is a faculty at CISPA. The focus of his research is public key encryption, communication-efficient secure multiparty computation and homomorphic encryption.
From 2017 to 2018 Nico was assistant professor at the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen Nürnberg. Prior to that, he was a postdoc in the group of Sanjam Garg at UC Berkeley, supported by a DAAD fellowship from 2016 to 2017 and a postdoc in the crypto group of Aarhus University, working with Ivan Damgård and Jesper Buus Nielsen form 2014 to 2016. Nico finished his PhD in 2014 at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology under the supervision of Jörn Müller-Quade.
