Alexis Korb

Hi! I'm Alexis. I am currently a final-year PhD student at UCLA working with Amit Sahai. In Fall 2026, I will be joining Pepperdine University as an Assistant Professor of Computer Science! My research focuses on cryptography, and more generally theoretical computer science.

During Summer 2024, I interned at NTT Research where I worked with Pratish Datta. Prior to my PhD, I completed an MS and BS in Computer Science at UCLA.

I am also a Christian and my faith is an important part of my life.
