Tung Chou
Before (Feb. 2017--Nov. 2019) I was a specially appointed assistant professor at Osaka University, Japan.
Before (Sep. 2016--Jan. 2017) I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Cryptographic Implementations group at Technische Universiteit Eindhoven, the Netherlands.
Before (Sep. 2012--Aug. 2016) I was a PhD student at the Cryptographic Implementations group at Technische Universiteit Eindhoven, the Netherlands.
My advisors were Daniel J. Bernstein and Tanja Lange.
Before I was a research assistant at Institute of Information Science, Academia Sinica, Taiwan, under supervision of 楊柏因 (Bo-Yin Yang).
Before I was a master student at the Department of Electrical Engineering of National Taiwan University, Taiwan, under supervision of 鄭振牟 (Chen-Mou Cheng).

I am one of the authors of
the LESS post-quantum signature scheme (2nd-round version).
I designed a way to reduce the signature size by a large factor, which was first described in the paper. -
I am one of the authors of
the MEDS post-quantum signature scheme.
I designed 2 algebraic modellings for the underlying hard problem; see the paragraph "improved modelling" of the corresponding paper.
I also designed a way to reduce the signature size by a large factor; see the corresponding paper. -
I am one of the authors of Classic McEliece
post-quantum key encapsulation mechanism (KEM).
I designed the 5 'f' parameter sets, which allow faster key generation.
I am also the main programmer of the 4 official software implementations of the scheme.
