Biography
I will begin in Fall of 2019 as an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Northwestern University. I'm currently conducting a joint post-doctoral fellowship with Vinod Vaikuntanathan at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Ran Canetti at Boston University. I was a Ph.D. student at the University of Maryland, where I was advised by Professor Jonathan Katz. My research interests focus on applied cryptography, specifically on designing efficient privacy-preserving systems based on secure multi-party computation. For this work, I received a Best Paper Award in Applied Cyber Security at CSAW 2015, an iDASH Competition Award in 2015, a Human Longevity Inc. Award for MPC in 2016, and an ACM CCS Best Paper Award in 2017.Research Interests
