Katerina Mitrokotsa is Professor and Chair of Cybersecurity at the University of St. Gallen (HSG), where she directs the Institute of Computer Science. Her research spans applied cryptography, information security and privacy-preserving technologies, including secure multi-party computation, functional encryption, threshold signatures and verifiable computation. She has (co-)authored over 100 peer-reviewed publications in venues such as ACM CCS, the Journal of Cryptology, ASIACRYPT and IEEE Euro S&P, and has received three best paper awards. Her work focuses on building systems whose security and correctness can be verified rather than taken on trust, a question that becomes central as AI enters research.
