About Me

I'm a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Georgia Tech, honored as a Croucher Scholar in 2023. My research interests lie in applied cryptography, focusing on multi-party computation, privacy-preserving machine learning, as well as cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies.

My current advisors are Prof. Vladimir Kolesnikov and Prof. Wenke Lee. My M.Phil. research at the Chinese University of Hong Kong was supervised by Prof. Sherman S. M. Chow.
