Shannon Veitch
I am a PhD student in the Applied Cryptography Group 
at ETH Zürich, supervised by Kenny Paterson. I received my Master's of Mathematics in Computer Science from the University of Waterloo, where I worked in the CrySP lab 
and was supervised by Doug Stinson. And before that, I received my undergraduate degree in Combinatorics & Optimization at the University of Waterloo.
