Lorenzo Grassi is an assistant professor at the Coding Theory and Cryptology group at Eindhoven University of Technology (黑料福利网).
His research group and him are currently supported by the Starting Grant Getting SYMmetric CryPtography Out of its Comfort ZONe (SYMPZON). Within his ERC project, Lorenzo Grassi plans to reshape the process of designing and analyzing symmetric algorithms that operate over the integer rings, by both developing a new theoretical framework, and by constructing concrete cryptographic primitives for practical use cases. 

His research interests include all aspects of cryptography, with particular focus on the design and cryptanalysis of symmetric cryptographic algorithms, such as ciphers and hash functions. Within symmetric cryptography, he has a well-established expertise in
- the cryptanalysis of AES and AES-like schemes, and
- the design and the security analysis of symmetric primitives for Multi-Party Computation (MPC), Zero-Knowledge (ZK) and Homomorphic Encryption (HE) applications.
He is a co-designer of several MPC-/ZK-/FHE-friendly schemes, including MiMC, Rasta, HadesMiMC, Poseidon, Reinforced Concrete, Hydra, Griffin, Pasta, among others.

Lorenzo Grassi defended his PhD at the IAIK, Graz University of Technology (Austria) in April 2019, under the supervision of prof. . After that, he held positions as postdoctoral researcher at Ruhr University Bochum (in the symmetric group headed by prof. ), at the Radboud University Nijmegen (in the Digital Security group headed by prof. ), and at the Graz University of Technology.
