Jeffrey Hoffstein, Ph.D., co-VP, Research and Founder
Jeff is a co-inventor of the NTRU public key cryptographic system, and a Professor of Mathematics at Brown University. Dr. Hoffstein has published more than 60 papers on the subjects of number theory and cryptography, and is the recipient of numerous National Science Foundation grants. Jeff has held academic positions at the University of Rochester, IAS and Göttingen University in Germany. He holds a B.A. from Cornell University and a Ph.D. from MIT.

Nick Howgrave-Graham, Ph.D.
Nick is the Senior Cryptographer at NTRU. Whilst at NTRU he has developed the most effective strategy known to attack the NTRU technology, and has helped create NTRU parameters safe from his attack. He has published more than 20 papers on cryptography and number theory. He is co-inventor and patent holder of the NTRU signature algorithm. In addition to his research and peer-reviewing, he contributes to the cryptographic community both by invited lectures (IPAM Contemporary Methods in Cryptography, AMS Short Course on Cryptography) and in program committees (ACNS 2009, Eurocrypt 2009, CT-RSA 2009). Nick co-developed the NTRU process for threat model analyses, and is heavily involved with the security consultancy that NTRU provides. Before coming to NTRU, he worked for two years at the IBM, Yorktown Heights Research Lab in New York. He holds a B.A. from the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, and both an M.Sc. and Ph.D. from the University of Bath, UK

Jill Pipher, Ph.D., Director of Research and Founder
Jill is a co-inventor of the NTRU public key cryptographic system, and a Professor of Mathematics at Brown University. She received the Sloan Foundation Fellowship in 1989, the Presidential Young Investigator Award in 1990 and has received numerous grants from the National Science Foundation. In addition to cryptography, her research interests include harmonic analysis, probability and partial differential equations. She has published over 40 articles on analysis and cryptography, and taught at the University of Chicago before coming to Brown University. Jill holds a B.A. and Ph.D. from UCLA.

Joseph Silverman, Ph.D., co-VP, Research and Founder
Joe is a co-inventor of the NTRU public key cryptographic system. A Professor of Mathematics at Brown University since 1988, Joe has also taught at MIT, Boston University and Universite de Paris VII. He is the author of seven book on topics including cryptography, elliptic curves, Diophantine geometry and number theory, and and he has published more than 100 articles on number theory, arithmetic geometry, arithmetic dynamics, and cryptography. Joe was awarded a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship 1998-1999, an American Mathematical Society Steele Prize in 1998, and a Sloan Foundation Fellowship 1987 to 1991, and he has also received numerous grants from the National Science Foundation and the National Security Agency. He holds a B.S. from Brown University and a Ph.D. from Harvard University.
