Hello there, My name is Matthew HongORCID iD icon . I am a Ph.D. candidate at MIT advised by Bonnie Berger and Yael Tauman Kalai. I am interested in cryptography, and in particular efficient and privacy-preserving systems with provable guarantees, and scalable data retrieval algorithms such as nearest neighbor search.

I received my B.Eng. from the Institute for Interdisciplinary Sciences at Tsinghua University, China.

Previously, I was a research assistant working with Yu Yu between 2020-2021. I was fortunate to work under the supervision of Yuval Ishai and Amit Sahai in 2019 for undergraduate research. Before that, I spent an amazing summer in 2018 working with Yu Yu at SJTU, Shanghai.

I am an amateur in creating poems and photography.
