I am a post-doctoral researcher at CSAIL MIT and the Computer Science department of Boston University, working with Prof. Shafi Goldwasser and Prof. Ran Canetti.

 

In 2011, I obtained a doctorate in Computer Science from Cornell University.  My thesis advisor is Prof. Rafael Pass. I was supported by a Microsoft Graduate Student Fellowship.

 

Before that, I studied at the computer science department at Stony Brook University, working with Tzi-cker Chiueh and Jie Gao.

 

I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Minor Degree in Business Management in 2004 from Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China.

 

I spent my summer of 2010 with the cryptography group at IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, the summer of 2009 with Cynthia Dwork at Microsoft Research, Silicon Valley, the summer of 2007 at Google, Kirkland, and the summer of 2006 at IBM T.J. Watson Research Center.

 

 

Research Interests

I am interested in Cryptography, and its interplay with security and theoretical computer science.
