Since June 2023 I am Associate Research Professor at IMDEA Software Institute in Madrid, Spain. Previously I held the following positions:
Research interests: My main area of expertise is cryptography, where I work in the topic of secure multiparty computation and its building blocks such as secret sharing schemes, commitment schemes, oblivious transfer protocols, etc. I am especially interested in the interplay between these topics and both the theory of error-correcting codes and abstract algebra: finite fields, algebraic number theory, algebraic geometry… *Name: My full name is Ignacio Cascudo Pueyo. As Spaniard, I have two surnames, Cascudo coming from my father and Pueyo from my mother. Cascudo is therefore a surname and not a middle name, and I actually don't have a middle name. I ignore the second surname in publications etc., since it leads to confusion to many non-Hispanic people. Also a common nickname for Ignacio in Spain is "Nacho". |
