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 applied and theoretical cryptography, and particularly efficient protocols with provable guarantees, such as private information retrieval and succinct interactive proofs. I also work on scalable data retrieval algorithms, such as nearest neighbor search.

I am currently exploring how my background in cryptography and algorithms can contribute to AI safety.

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

Outside research, I enjoy writing poetry and photography
