Craig Gentry (born 1973) [2] is an American computer scientist working as CTO of TripleBlind. He is best known for his work in cryptography, specifically fully homomorphic encryption. [3] [2] [4] [5]
Education
In 1993, while studying at Duke University, he became a Putnam Fellow. [6] In 2009, his dissertation, in which he constructed the first Fully Homomorphic Encryption scheme, won the ACM Doctoral Dissertation Award. [7]
Career
In 2010, he won the ACM Grace Murray Hopper Award for the same work. [8] In 2014, he won a MacArthur Fellowship. Previously, he was a research scientist at the Algorand Foundation and IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center. [2] In 2022, he won the Gödel Prize with Zvika Brakerski and Vinod Vaikuntanathan. [9]
