About

My name is Samuel Bouaziz--Ermann and I am currently a PHD student since 2021 in the Almasty and QI teams of the LIP6, in Paris, supervised by Alex Grilo and Damien Vergnaud. My subjects of interest are cryptography, quantum information and complexity theory. More precisely, some topics that I like are the Quantum Random Oracle Model, minimal assumptions for quantum cryptography, black-box reductions and separations in the quantum setting.
