Leonardo Errati
Cryptography PhD student @ PoliTo, Italy.
About Me
I am Leonardo, apprentice researcher in cryptography.
My interests include maths and scientific communication. I enjoy reading a bit too much, and love learning new things.
I believe in the power of a strong community of researchers and am working to make it happen.
Research
My main research areas are cryptography, complexity theory, number theory, and in my spare time I read about the history of mathematics.
I am currently working on cryptographic group actions and digital signatures.
Some thoughts
Community - shaping the future together
What brought Homo Sapiens to where it stands today?
A lion might have defeated one of us, but it would soon have to face fifty angry, rock-throwing, cooperating monkeys. Collaboration has always been one of our greatest strengths, and it is probably the key to shaping - and fixing - the future. As people of science this means coming together, providing our perspective to the public and putting our abilities to use for society. We are the same.
Communication - one (tiny) step at a time
Our ability to communicate effectively has always been a key strength. Thousands of years ago, teaching others how to craft obsidian tools without losing fingers surely gave us an edge (pun intended!).
I believe in the power of scientific communication: step by step it shares knowledge, enables informed decisions, and shapes our technical future. That is real power.
