Short Bio

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Warwick. Before joining Warwick, I conducted research at Yale University with Prof. Fan Zhang and Prof. Zhong Shao. I earned my PhD at Imperial College London under the supervision of Prof. Arthur Gervais. Prior to that, I received my MSc from Imperial College London and my BE from Southeast University.

I work broadly on decentralized systems (blockchains), focusing on security, privacy, distributed systems, confidential computing, applied cryptography, and game theory, with the goal of building secure and trustworthy infrastructures. I also explore applications of AI in computer security.
