I’m a fourth (last!) year PhD candidate supervised by Florian Speelman, Paola Grosso and Christian Schaffner, expected to graduate in July 2025. My office is located at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica.

I’m interested broadly in quantum cryptography; I like finding relations between cryptographic tasks using information theory, thinking about security, new functionalities…

*Note that I have two surnames, as is custom in the southern Euskal Herria; taking the first surname of each parent. But since people get confused all the time, I decided to only sign articles with Muguruza.
