Bio

I am a Ph.D. candidate (4th-year) in computer science at Northwestern University advised by Dr. Jennie Rogers. I am looking for a research intern position for Summer 2025.

Broadly speaking, my research interests focus on security, privacy and trustworthiness of data management and applications including verifiable query evaluation (DB), privacy-preserving machine learning (PPML) and so on. Meanwhile, I have extensive experience working with secure multi-party computation, zero knowledge proofs and differential privacy.

I received my M.S. degree in Computer Science from University of Washington in 2020 advised by Dr. Martine De Cock and my B.S. degree in computer science from University of California, San Diego in 2016. During gap years between UCSD and UW, I worked for Watson IoT at IBM as a data scientist at Beijing, China.

I would welcome any inquiries regarding my research. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you’re interested.
