Sorina Ionica Laboratoire MIS, Universite de Picardie 33 Rue St-Leu, 80039 Amiens Cedex 1, France Email : sorina.ionica @ u-picardie.fr (best way to reach me, wherever I am)

I am an associate professor at the University of Picardie Jules Verne and a member of the GOC group. Formerly I was a post-doc in the INRIA LFANT group and a visiting researcher with Microsoft Research in Redmond. I am a former PhD student of Antoine Joux.

I work in the area of algorithmic number theory and its applications to cryptography. My current research is mainly focused on:

• curve-based cryptography -algorithms and implementation of primitives
• cryptanalysis - mainly algebraic cryptanalysis but not only
• effective arithmetic geometry - low genus curves, abelian varieties with complex multiplication

Current projects

• 2020-2023 The ANR project POSTCRYPTUM .
• 2023-2028 The ANR PEPR project CRYPTANALYSE . A PhD position in Amiens is available on this project. Feel free to contact me if you are interested.

Software

ScalarMult is a C++ implementation of scalar multiplication on several families of elliptic curves and genus 2 Jacobians.

CMGenus3 is written mainly in Sage. It implements an algorithm for constructing genus 3 hyperelliptic Jacobians with CM. See also our paper "Constructing genus 3 Jacobians with CM".
