About Me

Hello! I am a third-year Ph.D. student studying Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan. My advisor is Prof. Paul Grubbs. During my undergraduate studies, I was advised by Prof. Sherman Chow at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. I use she/her pronouns.

I am broadly interested in applied cryptography and security. Currently, I focus on developing efficient zero-knowledge proofs to enhance the security of legacy systems and unlock new applications.
