Profile

I am a PhD student in Information Systems and Processes at the Department of Cybersecurity of Azerbaijan Technical University. My research is on cryptographic methods for electronic voting that stay secure against quantum computers: lattice-based commitments, homomorphic tallying and threshold protocols.

I teach two master's courses in cryptography and have built web interfaces since 2020, now as a frontend developer at Azerbaijan Investment Holding.
