I have served on the program committees of Oakland 2022, Oakland 2021, CRYPTO 2020, Oakland 2020, and CCS 2018.
Before coming to MIT, I completed my PhD in computer science at Stanford, advised by Dan Boneh. I also spent one year as a postdoc at EPFL, hosted by Bryan Ford.
I graduated from Yale University in 2010 with a B.S. in computer science. Before that, I grew up in Berkeley, California and was a student at Berkeley High School.
A variety of organizations, including the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Department of Defense, Facebook, and Google, have funded my research.
