I am a Carnegie Bosch postdoctoral fellow at Carnegie Mellon University hosted by Elaine Shi. Previously, I completed my PhD at Carnegie Mellon under the advisement of Bryan Parno and Vipul Goyal. I am broadly interested in applied cryptography, especially MPC, blockchains, and the intersection of crypto x AI. I particularly enjoy working on problems that help society.
Before joining CMU, I received my Bachelor degrees in CS and Mathematics, as well as a Master’s degree in CS from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.
