Short Bio

I am currently a Mathematics Ph.D. student at HKUST Crypto-Fintech Lab, working under the mentorship of Prof. Kani CHEN. Prior to that, I had the fortunate opportunity to receive guidance from Prof. Zhixuan Fang at Tsinghua University, as well as Prof. Fan Zhang at Yale University. My research interests are centered around applied cryptography, distributed systems, and mechanism design, aiming to enhance the robustness, user accessibility, and interoperability of blockchain technologies.
