Biography
Daniel Wichs is a professor in the Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University, based in Boston.
Wichs researches all aspects of modern cryptography, including its theoretical foundations and its applications to information security. His recent research relates to the cryptographic challenges involved in outsourcing data and computation to the cloud. In particular, this includes the construction of homomorphic encryption and signature schemes, which allow the cloud to compute on digitally encrypted and signed data while maintaining privacy and authenticity.
Prior to joining Northeastern, Wichs was a postdoctoral researcher at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center from 2011 to 2013, where he was supported by the prestigious Josef Raviv Memorial Fellowship.
