I am a post-doc in cryptology at [Simula UiB](https://www.simula-uib.com) in Bergen, Norway, where I have been since the year [[Date format|12,026]]. Here, I do research on the provable security of quantum-safe cryptographic protocols.[^1] I also lead the [Quantum Communication and Security Track](https://quantumnorway.no/communication-track/) of the [[Gemini Center on Quantum Technology]]. Aside from my research, I am a musician, leading the band project [[happydieyoung]] together with partner-in-crime and frontman Daniel Bekken. Last year, we released an [[DEATH POP|album]]. We also play [[HDY-konserter|gigs]]. My work email is hansh (at) simula (dot) no. Feel free to reach out if you have any academia-related questions or requests. For other communications, my personal email firstname (at) lastname (dot) me is preferable. [^1]: More specifically, I am interested in security proofs in the [[Quantum Random Oracle Model]] for primitves and protocols like public-key encryption, digital signatures, and electronic voting. Besides this, I am deeply fascinated with the rapidly evolving development of [[Kvanteuniverset|quantum computers]]. My secret dream is to one day be able to use them to simulate [[N=4 Super Yang-Mills|esoteric quantum field theories]].
