Education and career

Lilya Budaghyan earned a diploma with honour in mathematics from Yerevan State University in 1998. After additional graduate research at Yerevan State University, she completed a Ph.D. at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg in Germany in 2005.[4] Her PhD dissertation is The equivalence of almost bent and almost perfect nonlinear functions and their generalizations.[5]

After postdoctoral research at the University of Trento, Italy, the University of Bergen, and the University of Paris 8 Vincennes-Saint-Denis, she became a professor at the University of Bergen in 2019.[4]

Works

Lilya Budaghyan is the author of the book Construction and Analysis of Cryptographic Functions (Springer, 2014).[6]

Recognition

Prof. Budaghyan won the Emil Artin Junior Prize in Mathematics for outstanding contributions in algebra, geometry and number theory in 2011 for a joint paper with Tor Helleseth titled “New commutative semifields defined by new PN multinomials”.[7][8] In 2022 another paper co-authored by Lilya Budaghyan led to Emil Artin Junior Prize "Relation between o-equivalence and EA-equivalence for Niho bent functions".

She is a member of the Norwegian Academy of Technological Sciences,[9] elected in 2019.[10]
