Veronika Kuchta (Faculty liaison)

Dr. Kuchta received her Ph.D. degree in PhD in Applied Cryptography, University of Surrey, United Kingdom, 2016.  From 2016 to 2018, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Université libre de Bruxelles in Belgium. Between 2018 and 2020, I served as a research fellow at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia.  In December 2020, I joined the University of Queensland’s School of Mathematics and Physics (Brisbane, Australia) as a lecturer (equiv. Assistant Prof.)  in mathematical cryptography, a position I held until July 2022. Since November 2022, I have been an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, USA.  

My research focuses on various aspects of mathematical cryptography, including post-quantum cryptography and its practical applications in real-world scenarios.
