Biography

I design and build systems that are efficient, provably secure, and friendly to users and programmers. To this end, I take an interdisciplinary approach that blends cryptography, systems security, and language-based security.

I am interested in cryptography, game theory, algorithms, and foundations and blockchains. I am part of the CMU crypto group.
