Teaching and Service

I teach courses in algebra, cryptography, and the mathematical foundations of computer science, and I supervise project work in several areas of mathematics at Aalborg University. Teaching material for my courses is made available through AAU Moodle.

At Aalborg University, teaching is embedded in the university’s problem- and project-based learning (PBL) model, in which coursework is complemented by project work and supervision.

Reviewing

I regularly serve as a reviewer for international journals and conferences in algebra, coding theory, cryptography, and discrete mathematics.

Selected journals include:

  • IEEE Transactions on Information Theory
  • Transactions of the American Mathematical Society
  • Finite Fields and Their Applications
  • Designs, Codes, and Cryptography
  • SIAM Journal on Applied Algebra and Geometry
  • Linear Algebra and its Applications

A complete list of reviewing and editorial activities will be available in my CV.
