Research Interests

I am widely interested in computer security and information security areas. Currently, my research topic is applied cryptography (zero-knowledge proofs).

Note: I am NOT working in AI-security-related topics. If your previous research area is AI security (or other non-cryptographic areas) and you did not explicitly claim to change your research topic to cryptography, you probably will not get my response.

Teaching
