Welcome! I am an Associate Professor and the Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Notre Dame. I am honored to be named the Dennis O. Doughty Collegiate Professor of Data Security and Privacy, and since joining the department, I have led the Data Security and Privacy Lab (DSP-Lab).
I am an NSF CAREER awardee (2024). I received my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science at Illinois Tech in 2017 and the B.E. degree in Computer Software in Tsinghua University in 2011.
At the DSP-Lab, our research explores how to achieve security, trust, and privacy in cyberspace. Focusing on applied cryptography and blockchain technology, we collaborate with academic and industry partners to investigate this broad area of cybersecurity—spanning from algorithms to hardware, and from cyberspace to the physical world.
