Dr Ron Steinfeld is one of the world's leading figures in the new generation of cryptography researchers. With no less than 48 published book chapters, surveys, journal papers and conference papers, Ron is a familiar figure at cryptography conferences worldwide, serving as program committee member at ASIACRYPT, ACISP and EUROCRYPT. After completing his Ph.D. in 2003 at Monash University (Melbourne Australia), he worked for 9 years at Macquarie University (Sydney Australia) before returning to his alma mater. During this time, he has been an ARC Australian Research Fellow in Cryptography, as well as a distinguished and highly sought lecturer.
Ron is a world leader in lattice-based cryptography, thought to be resistant to quantum computer based attacks. His work is currently being studied by the European Commission for possible adoption as a European standard.
