Bio: Dr. Amin Sakzad is an Associate Professor and Director of Research in the Department of Software Systems and Cybersecurity at Monash University. With a career spanning cutting-edge post-quantum cryptography, lattice coding, and secure wireless communications, Amin has become a global leader in shaping the cryptographic foundations that will safeguard the digital world against quantum threats.
His research on Euclidean lattices and post-quantum cryptography (PQC) has not only advanced theory but also translated into real-world adoption. Notably, his work on the FACCT sampler was adopted in Falcon, a NIST PQC standard. Beyond academia, his open-source cryptographic implementations have reached extraordinary global impact, with over 30 million downloads via the Legion of the Bouncy Castle platform.
Amin has attracted over $8M in competitive industry and government funding, including a landmark USD $1M project with the U.S. Department of State to advance PQC adoption across 11 Indo-Pacific nations.
As a mentor, Amin has guided PhD students who have gone on to careers at CSIRO, Amazon, ANU, and ONI, ensuring his impact extends across academia, government, and industry
Amin is also a decorated educator, having received multiple awards including the Monash Vice-Chancellor’s Teaching Excellence Award and recognition as a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA).
