Ivan Sarno is a PhD student and applied researcher with 11 years of engineering experience focused on cryptography, hardware security, and secure RISC-V extensions. He holds a BS in Computer Science and an MS in Cybersecurity from the University of Pisa and is now pursuing a PhD at CEA-List/Leti and Université Grenoble Alpes/TIMA. His work spans practical IP development—such as true random number generators and a Kyber/Dilithium accelerator for RISC-V published in IEEE Access—to protocol-level designs for privacy-preserving cryptocurrency transactions. Ivan combines deep academic rigor with hands-on implementation, having contributed to the European Processor Initiative and built production-oriented crypto accelerators. Based in Grenoble, he specializes in post-quantum cryptography acceleration and secure system co-design, bridging silicon, firmware, and algorithm teams to deliver verifiable, high-assurance solutions.
