About Me

I’m a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Georgia Tech and a 2023 Croucher Scholar. I work on privacy-enhancing technologies, focusing on multi-party computation with applications to privacy-preserving machine learning and zero-knowledge proofs. I also study blockchain and cryptocurrency systems to improve efficiency, privacy, and usability.

My current advisor is Prof. Vladimir Kolesnikov.
