I recently joined Center on Frontiers of Computing Studies (CFCS), Peking University as an assistant professor.

Previously, I was a postdoc researcher in UW, funded by Prof. Huijia (Rachel) Lin. I received my master and Phd degrees from MIT Theory of Computation group, where I was fortunately advised by Prof. Vinod Vaikuntanathan. I received my bachelor degree from IIIS Tsinghua University, advised by Prof. John Steinberger.

So far, my research focuses on information theoretic (IT) cryptography, including

  • IT cryptography problems, such as CDS, PSM, secret sharing;

  • secure multi-party computation with IT "flavor";

  • analysis of practical cryptography from an IT perspective;

  • (im)possibility of basing cryptography on NP-hardness.
