BACKGROUND
Dana Dachman-Soled is an associate professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering with a joint appointment in the University of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies. She is a core faculty member in the Maryland Cybersecurity Center and is also affiliated with the Institute for Systems Research.
Dachman-Soled’s research interests are in cryptography, complexity theory and security. She has broad interests in cryptography including security against physical attacks, post-quantum cryptography, secure multiparty computation, and black-box complexity. Dachman-Soled is also interested in property testing of Boolean functions and cryptographic hardness of learning.
She is supported in part by an NSF CAREER award, a Ralph E. Powe Junior Faculty Enhancement award, a financial assistance award from the National Institute of Standards and Technology and a research partnership award from Cisco. Dachman-Soled is also the recipient of a Summer 2016 Research and Scholarship (RASA) award. Prior to joining University of Maryland, she spent two years as a postdoc at Microsoft Research New England.
Dachman-Soled completed her doctorate in computer science at Columbia University.
