Alex Hoover
I’m a postdoctoral scholar at the University of Chicago and work part-time as a postdoc at Columbia University as well. Cryptography is my main interest, but I have worked on topics ranging from quantum systems to complexity of election manipulation and enjoy most topics that have crisply define questions. See my list of my published papers below, and links to more info even even further down.
