Jana Sotáková

I am a PhD student of Christian Schaffner, Serge Fehr and Peter Bruin at Institute for Logic, Language and Computation at the University of Amsterdam (ILLC) and a part of the QuSoft Crypto group. I started my PhD in 2019 and expect to graduate in late 2023.
I am on the academic job market in 2023, seeking a postdoc in post-quantum cryptography or computational number theory.

I am working on: Until Spring 2022, I was also an organizer at WIQD, a network of women in Quantum.
