Valentina Astore

I am a third-year PhD student working with the Surycat team at INRIA Paris-Saclay and the LIX laboratory at École polytechnique, under the supervision of Alain Couvreur and Martino Borello.

My research interests include Algebraic Coding Theory (in both Hamming and rank metrics), Finite Geometry, and applications to Cryptography. In March 2024, I completed a Master of Science in Mathematics at the University of Trento.
