Biography

I am an Assistant Professor at the Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences(IIIS) at Tsinghua University. Before joining Tsinghua, I received my Ph.D. degree from Carnegie Mellon University (2017 - 2022), fortunately advised by Prof. Vipul Goyal. I received my bachelor’s degree in Yao Class at Tsinghua University (2013 - 2017).

My research interest is theoretic cryptography and its application in the real world, especially the efficient multi-party computation.

I am a fifth year Ph.D. student at Carnegie Mellon University (2017 - Present), fortunately advised by Prof. [Vipul Goyal](https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~goyal/). My research interest is theoretic cryptography and its application in the real world, especially the efficient multi-party computation. This summer, I am an intern at NTT Research, Sunnyvale and work with Prof. [Vipul Goyal](https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~goyal/) on the communication-efficient multi-party computation. In Summer 2020, I was an intern in the AI Research team at J.P. Morgan, New York and worked with [Antigoni Polychroniadou](https://antigonip.github.io) on the communication-efficient multi-party computation. I received my bachelor's degree in Yao Class at Tsinghua University (2013 - 2017). During my undergraduate, I visited Aarhus University in Spring 2016 and worked with [Claudio Orlandi](https://users-cs.au.dk/orlandi/) on order revealing encryption.
