About Me

Since September 2024, I have been a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in the Department of Information Security at Royal Holloway, University of London. Before joining Royal Holloway, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at George Mason University from April to August 2024, hosted by Giuseppe Ateniese. From September 2021 to February 2024, I held a Postdoctoral position at Aarhus University (Crypto Group) hosted by Claudio Orlandi. I earned my Ph.D. in September 2021 from Stevens Institute of Technology, where I conducted my research under the guidance of Giuseppe Ateniese.

Research Interests

My research interests are theoretical and applied cryptography with a focus on advanced public-key primitives and their applications. I am also interested in blockchain and privacy-preserving machine learning.
