Short Bio
I hold two Ph.D. degrees from the Department of Computer Science, Virginia Tech and from the School of Telecommunications, Xidian University, respectively. My main research area lies in data security and privacy, and decentralized trust and infrastructure design by conducting interdisciplinary research including cryptography, trusted hardware, AI/ML, and software engineering.
