Lorenz studied mathematics at EPFL, and obtained his diploma in March 2003, 
which was directed by 
[[http://sprsg1.epfl.ch/research/Webdriver?MIval=ADP_CV_PROF&PersId=362&MIlang_env=1|Prof. Bayer]].

Lorenz finished his PhD at LMA in July 2007. His work centered around attacks 
on various public-key crycptosystems based on error-correcting codes. He will
 be joining the faculty of Computer Science of UC Berkeley as a Post-Doc funded 
by the Swiss National Fund in February 2008.

summary : Lorenz finished his PhD at ALGO in 2007 specializing in code-based cryptography. Specifically, he analyzed different families of algebraic codes for their structural security. For example, he discovered the first known effective attacks against the Sidelnikov-cryptosystem, and he generalized the Sidelnikov-Shestakov-attack on the Niederreiter-cryptosystem to apply also to algebraic-geometry codes based on elliptic curves.
