Summary
Rebecca Bellovin is a postdoctoral mathematician and software engineer with six years of professional experience bridging deep theoretical research and practical distributed systems. Trained at Stanford (PhD) and Columbia (BA), her research in algebraic number theory and p-adic Hodge theory informs applied interests in cryptography and security. She has worked as a Distributed Systems Engineer at Ably Realtime and held research and fellowship roles at Imperial College, University of Glasgow, and the Institute for Advanced Study, demonstrating fluency moving between production engineering and academic inquiry. Rebecca seeks a full-time role where rigorous analytical thinking and collaborative development meet real-world security challenges. Colleagues value her ability to translate abstract mathematical structures into robust system designs and threat models. Based in England, she brings a rare combination of high-level mathematics and hands-on systems experience to cryptography-minded engineering teams.
