Prof. Dr. Jörn Müller-Quade
Professor Dr. rer. nat. Jörn Müller-Quade studied computer science in Erlangen and Karlsruhe from 1987 to 1993. He earned his doctorate in the field of computer algebra under Professor Dr.-Ing. Dr. rer. nat. Thomas Beth at the Institute for Algorithms and Cognitive Systems (IAKS) at the University of Karlsruhe (TH). His research was motivated by applications in system decomposition and the design of diffractive optical systems. Between 1993 and 1999 he headed the research group for diffractive optics at the IAKS.
From 1999 to 2001 he lived as a post-doc fellow with his family in Tokyo, where he worked in the field of cryptography at the Imai Laboratory of the Institute of Industrial Science at the University of Tokyo, where he founded and led the research group for quantum cryptography. There he discovered his enthusiasm for cryptography. In 2001 he returned to Karlsruhe to take over a BMBF project on quantum cryptography.
From 2003 to 2007, Jörn Müller-Quade was head of a junior research group on long-term security in cryptography (CrySTALS) within the Emmy Noether Programme and coordinated the EU project ProSecCo at the European Institute for System Security of the IAKS for three years.
At the beginning of 2008, Jörn Müller-Quade took over the chair "IT Security" at the Institute for Algorithms and Cognitive Systems at the Universität Karlsruhe (TH). At the end of 2008, he was offered the professorship for IT security, combined with the leadership of the Institute for Cryptography and Security (IKS) at the Universität Karlsruhe (TH), now Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. Due to restructuring, the chair was integrated into the Institute for Theoretical Computer Science (ITI) in early 2014.
