About me

I’m a Lecturer at Monash University in the Faculty of Information Technology. I obtained my PhD degree from the University of Auckland in 2019. Before joining Monash University, I was a Post-Doc researcher in the Large-Scale Data & Systems (LSDS) group in the Department of Computing at Imperial College London, UK.

My research

My main research interests include applied cryptography, data security in various systems, trusted execution environments, side-channel attacks, and privacy-preserving machine learning.

I am always looking for self-motivated students. Please email me your CV, transcript, research statement, English test score.
