Biography

Marinos Vomvas is a doctoral student in the cybersecurity program at the Khoury College of Computer Sciences, advised by Guevara Noubir. His research interests include applied cryptography, secure multiparty computation, computer networks, network security, and wireless communications. He is particularly interested in developing efficient solutions for real-world applications, building on applied cryptography and secure multiparty computation (MPC) techniques.

Marinos received his undergraduate degree, referred to as a diploma, in electrical and computer engineering from the National Technical University of Athens in Athens, Greece. Along with conducting research in wireless security and MPC, he has taken courses on network and software security, cyberlaw, and advanced topics in cryptography and multiparty computation. Marinos was also a team finalist in a DARPA competition on wireless communications, and more specifically smart and collaborative spectrum sharing systems, gaining practical experience in system development. Within his research, Marinos would like to contribute to pragmatic MPC protocols, and their use towards efficient and secure function evaluation. He finds overcoming the performance overhead of secure computation and coming up with efficient techniques both in theory and application, simultaneously challenging and fascinating.
