Monday, Jan. 29, 10:00 a.m.
Our regular Crypto Café seminars take place every other Monday 10 am-11 am during the semester. We invite local and international experts on topics in Mathematics and Computer Science related to Cryptography and Information Security. Come and join us for freshly brewed coffee and interesting conversations on the most exciting topics in cryptography. Where: SE-43 (Charles E. Schmidt College of Science) – Room 215 and via Zoom Speaker: Dr. Vincenzo Pallozzi Lavorante, Postdoctoral fellow, University of South Florida Title: Locality and complexity distribution in coding theory, an approach based on Galois theory Abstract: The storage of information and the necessity to ease the heaviness of big data computations are two key aspects to consider when investigating new problems in coding theory. The concept of locality is closely linked to the reliability of distributed storage systems, while matrix multiplication is often the first operation required for secure distribution. This presentation will provide an overview of the latest developments and explore how Galois theory can offer valuable tools for addressing and contributing to these areas. Bio: Dr. Pallozzi Lavorante received a Ph.D. in Mathematics in 2022 from the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia in Italy. Since August 2022 he has been a Postdoctoral fellow at the University of South Florida. His research interest focuses on Galois Theory and polynomials over finite fields with applications to coding theory, code-based cryptography, and finite geometry.
