Curriculum Vitae:

In 1993 Vincent Rijmen graduated as electronics engineer from the University of Leuven, Belgium (K.U. Leuven). After finishing his doctoral dissertation on the design and analysis of block ciphers in 1997, he continued his researching activities, collaborating on several occasions with his former colleague Dr. ir. Joan Daemen.

One of their joint projects resulted in the algorithm Rijndael, which in October 2000 was selected by the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) to become the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) - the successor to the existing Data Encryption Standard (DES).

In 2001, Rijmen became Chief Cryptographer of Cryptomathic, a European company developing software for cryptographic applications.

In 2004, he became professor at the IAIK, Graz University of Technology, where he teaches the course "applied cryptography" and performs further research in the design of primitives for symmetric cryptography.
