Jean-Philippe Bossuat
Cryptography Research Scientist & Software Specialist
GAUSS LABS PTE. LTD.
I have been working as a research scientist and cryptography software engineer for the past five years. My work consists in researching, designing, implementing and integrating privacy preserving machine learning and statistical analytics in large scale B2B applications. The designed solutions are built on top of applied cryptography combined with other privacy enhancing technologies, such as lattice based fully homomorphic encryption, multiparty computation, federated learning and differential privacy.
