I am a postdoctoral researcher at University of Maryland, hosted by Prof. Jonathan Katz.

I obtained my Ph.D. from Cornell University and my advisor was Prof. Elaine Shi. During my doctoral study, I have been a visiting graduate student or an intern at Simons Institute, Yahoo! Labs, Bell Labs and IBM TJ Waston Research Center.

Research interests: Cryptography, security and formal methods.
