Max Fillinger

Photo I've been working as a software developer (and occasionally researcher) at Fox-IT in Delft since 2018. I received a PhD in Mathematics from Universiteit Leiden in 2019, although most of my research was carried out as a member of the Cryptology group at the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica, Amsterdam. My promotor was Serge Fehr. You can find a list of my academic publications below.
