In August 2022, I joined the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech), Shenzhen, China, as a tenure-track assistant professor. I obtained my Ph.D. degree from Georgia Tech under the supervision of Alexandra (Sasha) Boldyreva in 2020. Then, I did my postdoc in the Cryptoplexity group led by Marc Fischlin at TU Darmstadt.

My research interests lie in cryptography and information security, and my current focus is on real-world cryptography. I am most passionate about analyzing deployed or soon-to-be-deployed security protocols and developing provably secure and practically efficient cryptographic solutions.

I am seeking self-motivated students and postdocs for our Applied Cryptography Group. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in working with me.

* If you are interested in pursuing a graduate degree with me and wonder what you would expect from that, this article about the Ph.D. experience might be very helpful and you can regard the master’s experience as a simplified version of that.
