Patrick Hough

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in Cryptography in the Privacy and Cryptography (PACY) group at Research Institute CODE, Universität der Bundeswehr Munich.

My research focuses on post-quantum cryptography and privacy-preserving protocols, particularly lattice-based cryptography, threshold cryptography, zero-knowledge proofs, and anonymous credentials.

I am also interested in applications including electronic voting, confidential computing, secure multiparty computation, and privacy-enhancing technologies more broadly.

I received my DPhil in Mathematics from the University of Oxford, where my research focused on lattice-based privacy-preserving protocols with distributed trust.
