Hao Cheng 程皓

I am currently a professor at the School of Cyber Science and Technology, Shandong University, Qingdao, China. Before that, I was a postdoc at the University of Luxembourg, Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg. In Sept 2023, I obtained my Ph.D. from the University of Luxembourg, Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg, under the supervision of Peter Y. A. Ryan and Johann Großschädl. From Nov 2022 to Apr 2023, I was a visiting Ph.D. student at the University of Bristol, Bristol, United Kingdom, hosted by Daniel Page. I received my M.Sc. from the University of Luxembourg, Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg, and my B.Eng. from the Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi'an, China.

My research interests are in cryptographic engineering, including:

  • Efficient cryptographic implementation
  • Design of cryptographic instruction set extension
  • Side-channel analysis
  • RISC-V security

Thesis

The defense of my Ph.D. thesis Efficient and Side-Channel Resistant Implementations of Next-Generation Cryptography took place on September 19, 2023. My Ph.D. thesis received the 2023 Excellent Thesis Award of the University of Luxembourg.
