Hi, I’m David Froelicher, a Research Manager at the Swisscom Digital Lab. Together with Master’s students from Swiss universities, we tackle real-world research challenges, bridging the gap between academia and industry across diverse fields like analytics, networking, AI, and security.
Before joining Swisscom in 2024, I completed a postdoctoral fellowship at MIT, where I focused on secure distributed analytics, AI, and genomic privacy, leveraging advanced privacy-enhancing technologies and distributed algorithms.
Earlier in my academic journey, I earned my PhD from EPFL in 2021, specializing in the design of cryptography-based solutions for secure distributed computation. I also hold a Bachelor’s (2014) and Master’s (2016) degree in Computer Science, with a focus on IT security, from EPFL.
