The Centre for Advanced Computing - Algorithms
and Cryptography (ACAC) acts as a focal point for joint
research activities between its members who come from diverse
backgrounds in Physics, Mathematics and Computing. Our vision
is to be the leading centre in Australasia for research into
algorithms, complexity and cryptography applied to advanced
computing systems. We have determined a mission to develop algorithms
and cryptographic methods and protocols for applications to
advanced information and computation systems.
HistoryThe Centre has its origins in the 'Algorithms and Complexity' group, founded in 1996 by Associate Professor Bernard Mans, Dr Scott McCallum and Professor Igor Shparlinski. In 2001-2002, Professor Josef Pieprzyk, Associate Professor Huaxiong Wang and Dr Christophe Doche joined the group. Our research has won significant Australian Research Council grants. We also maintain a vigorous seminar and visitor program. Our recent PhD graduates are holding postdoc positions in Technical University of Denmark, Helsinki University of Technology, Tsinghua University in Beijing, and Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.
