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]
