About
I am an assistant professor of computer science at Yale University and co-founder of Espresso Systems.
Previously, I was a PhD candidate at Stanford University, working with Dan Boneh in the applied cryptography research group.
The major theme of my research is privacy and verifiability in information systems, with a special attention on decentralized systems like Bitcoin and Ethereum. These systems have revolutionized trust, transparency, and privacy for applications in finance and beyond.
