Alexandre Benoist (PhD candidate)
works on the arithmetic of abelian varieties and isogenies. During the first months of his PhD, he got interested in the distribution of Elkies primes for reductions of abelian varieties, which is important to assess the time complexity of the SEA point-counting method and relevant to cryptography. He also worked on two variants of a conjecture of Lang and Trotter on primitive points for the reductions of elliptic curves.
