    Talk Title
    Tackling Challenges in Deploying Modern Cryptography

    Abstract
    Modern cryptographic protocols play a critical role in securing information at various stages. Despite significant advancements in their design, challenges remain in practical deployment. These challenges often arise from concerns related to efficiency, security, and user awareness. My research addresses these issues by exploring the theoretical foundations, protocol design, and real-world applications of cryptography. In this talk, I will present key efforts to tackle these obstacles, the impact of these solutions, and lessons learned along the way.

    Biography
    Xiao Wang is an assistant professor of Computer Science at Northwestern University. His research focuses on practical secure multi-party computation, zero-knowledge proofs, post-quantum cryptography, and their applications to artificial intelligence, formal methods, and health. He was a postdoctoral researcher at MIT and Boston University between 2018 and 2019. He obtained a Ph.D. from the University of Maryland in 2018.
