Giulia Cavicchioni is a Researcher at the Applied Cryptography (ALEPH) research unit of the Center for Cybersecurity in Fondazione Bruno Kessler. She obtained a BSc in Applied Mathematics in 2018 and an MSc in Mathematics in 2021 from the University of Verona and a PhD in Mathematics from the University of Trento in 2025, with a dissertation on coding theory and its applications to cryptography.

After her PhD, she held a postdoctoral researcher position at the German Aerospace Center (DLR), where she worked on quantum-assisted cryptanalysis. In March 2026, she joined the ALEPH research unit.

From 2022 to 2025, she was a Teaching Assistant for the courses “Algebra Lineare con Elementi di Geometria”, “Algebra”, and “Teoria di Galois” in the Bachelor’s degree program in Applied Mathematics University of Verona, as well as for “Algebra A” and “Algebra B” in the Bachelor’s degree program in Mathematics, University of Trento. In 2025, she also taught the minicourse “Introduction to code-based cryptography” within the course “Applied Algebra”, Master’s in Mathematics, University of Verona.

Her research interests lie in post-quantum cryptography, with a particular focus on hard problems from coding theory and their applications to code-based cryptography.
