Elisabeth has joined University of Bristol as a lecturer in October 2006. Information about her work before that time can be found here. More recent information is maintained here under the website of the DPA book www.dpabook.org.

In her professional career, Elisabeth has mainly worked on power analysis attacks. In addition, she has contributed to the areas of efficient implementations of ciphers and cryptanalysis of hash functions. In the previous years, she has served on the program committees of conferences such as CHES, FSE, ASIACRYPT and CT-RSA.

In 2007, Elisabeth was the general chair of CHES 2007 (IACR's flagship workshop on cryptographic hardware). In 2008, Elisabeth had the honor of being CHES's program co-chair (together with Pankaj Rohatgi).

Between April 2008 until April 2011, Elisabeth was PI of the EPSRC funded project called "Investigation of Power Analysis Attacks". Further information about this project and its research outcomes is available here.

From January 2011 onwards, Elisabeth is no longer involved teaching but concentrates on her EPSRC funded Leadership Fellowship entitled SILENT: Side Channel Attacks - Theory and Implications for Society.
