About me

I’m a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) 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 protection in various systems, trusted execution environments, side-channel attacks, and privacy-preserving machine learning.

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