Abu Dhabi and the UAE are working to pioneer breakthroughs in post-quantum cryptography and neuromorphic computing through an international partnership between Technology Innovation Institute's Cryptography Research Centre and Yale University, an Ivy League research university in Connecticut, United States.

Speaking on the partnership, Dr Najwa Aaraj, Chief Researcher at Cryptography Research Centre, said: "We are excited to work with peers from Yale University in carrying out groundbreaking research in these two vital fields. At the Cryptography Research Centre, we are creating a knowledge-driven ecosystem powered by like-minded scientists and researchers - all focused on designing breakthrough solutions in different areas of cryptography."

Jakub Szefer, Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and Priya Panda, Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering, from Yale University, said: "By working collaboratively with Cryptography Research Centre, we have an opportunity to apply shared expertise across post-quantum cryptography and neuromorphic computing research. We are optimistic that this partnership will yield effective research outcomes for greater impact."

Technology Innovation Institute, the 'applied research' pillar of Advanced Technology Research Council, is a pioneering global research and development centre that focuses on applied research and new-age technology capabilities.

The institute has seven initial dedicated research centres in quantum, autonomous robotics, cryptography, advanced materials, digital security, directed energy and secure systems.

By working with exceptional talent, universities, research institutions and industry partners from all over the world, the Institute connects an intellectual community and contributes to building an R&D ecosystem in Abu Dhabi and the UAE. The Institute reinforces Abu Dhabi and the UAE's status as a global hub for innovation and contributes to the broader development of the knowledge- based economy.
