Research Interest
Dillon's research area is in optimizing PQC (Post-Quantum Cryptography) algorithms. Currently Dillon is investigating two areas. The first is optimizing algorithms for performance on the RISC-V architecture leveraging SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) instructions. The second area is optimizing algorithms for space on an FPGA. Dillon is investigating the Winograd's Transform for fast polynomial multiplication.
