About Me

I am an assistant professor in the Computer Science Department at the University of Texas at Austin and a member of the Cryptography Group. In Spring 2025, I am teaching a graduate course on cryptography (CS 388H: Cryptography).

Previously, I was an assistant professor in the Computer Science Department at the University of Virginia (UVA). I received my PhD in computer science at Stanford University in 2018, where I was advised by Dan Boneh. I received my MS and BS in computer science from Stanford University in 2013.

My research interests are in cryptography and computer security. Please see my publications, talks, and projects pages for a more comprehensive overview of my work.

I am a co-organizer of the Cryptography and Security Seminar and the Texas Crypto Day.
