Biography

Boris Škorić is an Associate Professor specializing in quantum materials technology at Eindhoven University of Technology. His research primarily addresses the challenge of collusion-resistant watermarking codes, which are vital in safeguarding digital content integrity against collaborative attacks. Building on his background in theoretical physics, Škorić investigates how the unique properties of quantum mechanics can be harnessed to enhance security protocols beyond traditional methods. His focus on the destructive nature of measurements in quantum physics opens pathways to design tamper-evident protocols that classical physics cannot achieve. He has an MSc in physics from the University of Amsterdam, completed in 1995, with a thesis on the quantum Hall effect. He earned his PhD in theoretical physics in 1999, focusing on applications of F-invariance in the quantum Hall effect. Before his tenure at TU/e, he served as a senior research scientist at Philips Research from 1999 to 2008, contributing significant advancements in the field of quantum security.
