About Me

I am a final year PhD candidate in Computer Science at the University of Sydney, advised by Prof. Qiang Tang. Previously, I was a PhD candidate at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, also under Prof. Qiang Tang, and earned my MSc in Cybersecurity at the Institute of Information Engineering, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, advised by Prof. Dongdai Lin. I hold a BSc in Statistics from Xidian University.

Research Interests

My research focuses on privacy-preserving cryptography, especially zero-knowledge proofs and their applications in blockchain, including signature aggregation, private exchange, and private payment.
