I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Combinatorics and Optimization at the University of Waterloo, under the mentorship of Prof. Douglas Stebila and Prof. David Jao. My research lies at the intersection of cryptography and mathematics. Broadly, I study the security foundations of post-quantum cryptography and combinatorial questions arising in privacy, compression, and memory-hard computation.

Prior to joining the University of Waterloo, I was a postdoctoral researcher at Purdue University for a year, hosted by Prof. Jeremiah Blocki. I received my Ph.D. in the Department of Computer Science at Purdue University, and was honored to be advised by Prof. Jeremiah Blocki.
