About Me
I am a Second-year PhD student at Brown University, doing Cryptography in the group of Professor Peihan Miao. I built Private Set Intersection systems (such as PICS and SA-PSI) that solves new-generation PSI problems that are much closer to practice and industry needs. More broadly, my interests lie in enabling secure and decentralized data analytics in the real world, using Cryptography. I did my Undergraduate study at Nanyang Technological University, where I was fortunate to be guided by Professor Wang Huaxiong and Professor Kiah Han Mao. I worked a lot in Coding Theory, especially the Sequence Reconstruction Problem for Deletion, during my Undergrad, and I'm still open to collaborations.
