I am currently a Research Fellow at College of Computing and Data Science, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, working under the supervision of Prof. Tianwei Zhang. My research interests primarily lie in the field of applied cryptography, with a specific focus on searchable encryption and Oblivious RAM. I am dedicated to designing efficient and secure privacy-preserving protocols for storage and computation.
