Irene Villa
I'm a researcher (RTdA) at the Department of Mathematics, University of Trento (Italy).
Previously, I was a postdoc at the University of Genova (Italy).
I obtained my Ph.D. in January 2021 from the University of Bergen (Norway), under the supervision of prof. Lilya Budaghyan.

My research interests are in discrete mathematics, particularly in the context of cryptography.
-
(Vectorial) Boolean functions
Cryptographically relevant Boolean functions, such as APN and bent functions.
-
Functions over finite fields
Planar functions and their connection with commutative presemifields
-
Multivariate Cryptography and Symmetric Cryptography
