Bor de Kock
About
I am an associate professor of cryptology at the Department of Information Security and Communication Technology (IIK). I'm a member of the research group NaCl (NTNU's Applied Cryptography Lab), which is a cooporation between IIK and the Department of Mathematical Sciences.
My primary research interest is Post-Quantum Key Exchange and its various applications. Students at IIK interested in writing a master's thesis on a cryptology-related topic are welcome to reach out.
In 2020-2022 I was a member of the faculty board and the academic appointments committee at IE as an elected representative of the employees in temporary academic positions.
I started at NTNU as a researcher in October 2018, was promoted to assistant professor from August 2022, and to associate professor from February 2024. I hold an MSc degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Eindhoven University of Technology (The Netherlands), and a PhD from NTNU.
A complete CV is available upon request.
