Nice to e-meet you! Welcome to my homepage!

I am a 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Georgia Tech, USA, advised by Prof. Vladimir Kolesnikov. My research focuses on Cryptography including:

  • Zero-knowledge (ZK)
  • Secure multi-party computation (MPC)

In summer 2023, I visited Prof. Carmit Hazay at Bar-Ilan University, Israel on arithmetic garbled circuits.

In summer 2021, I worked at Visa Research as an intern mentored by Dr. Ranjit Kumaresan and Dr. Mohsen Minaei on the layer-2 programmability of the payment channels. In summer 2022, I rejoined Visa Research as an intern mentored by Dr. Srinivasan Raghuraman on MPC with fairness.

I was also working on general parallel dynamic information flow tracking system with Prof. David Devecsery during my 1st year of Ph.D.

I earned my Bachelor of Engineering from Department of Computer Science and Technology, Tsinghua University, China. As an undergraduate, I stood in various research projects advised by Prof. Hailong Yao, Prof. Guy Blelloch and Prof. Yong-Jin Liu.

Feel free to contact me!
