Nicolas Küchler
I'm a second-year Ph.D. student in the Privacy Preserving Systems Lab at ETH Zurich. My research interests lie broadly at the intersection of computer systems and data privacy. I design and build systems that follow a user-centric privacy model to enable users to exercise more control over their data. More recently, I'm interested in addressing the challenges of deploying differential privacy at scale. I completed my M.Sc degree in Computer Science at ETH Zurich with distinction. Before that, I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Zurich with a B.Sc degree in Informatics.
