Biography

I am a Ph.D. candidate at the Shanghai Jiao Tong University (2021- now), fortunately supervised by Prof. Chaoping Xing. In general, I have broad interests in zero-knowledge proofs and secure multi-party computation. More concretely, these days I am paying particular attentions to pseudorandom correlation generators/functions, code-based succinct arguments, batch arguments, and so on.
