1. Eitan Yaakobi is an Assistant Professor at the Computer Science Department at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology. He received the B.A. degrees in computer science and mathematics, and the M.Sc. degree in computer science from the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel, in 2005 and 2007, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of California, San Diego, in 2011. Between 2011-2013, he was a postdoctoral researcher in the department of Electrical Engineering at the California Institute of Technology and the Center of Memories and Recording Research at the University of California, San Diego.
His research interests include information and coding theory with several applications to non-volatile memories, distributed storage, and private information retrieval. In particular, his work has been focused on advancing coding solutions for memories and systems and their application in state of the art storage systems. He is also working on next generations memories such as racetrack memories and DNA storage systems. In last ten years, he has published more than a hundred papers in top journals and conferences in the fields of coding theory and information theory. He is also an inventor of a few US patents in memory devices. He received the Marconi Society Young Scholar Award in 2009 and was a recipient of the Intel Ph.D. fellowship in 2010-2011.

4. Tran Thi Luong is currently a lecturer at the Academy of Cryptography Techniques (Học viện Kỹ thuật mật mã), Hanoi. She got her bachelor’s degree in Applied Mathematics & Informatics from Vietnam National University, Hanoi, in 2006, and has been an active researcher in database security since. She successfully defended her PhD thesis on substitution–permutation network (SPN) block cipher in 2018, in which techniques from coding theory was employed to improve the performance and security of SPN. She was the chief investigator of the project “Constructions of MDS and dynamic MDS matrices for the dynamic diffusion layer of block ciphers” (2014-2015) and an investigator of the project “Constructions of cryptographic primitives for digital signature schemes and key exchange protocols using public key cryptography” (2018-2020).
