I'm an Assistant Professor in the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence at Arizona State University.
My interest is focused on applied cryptography, specifically as it pertains to secure distributed verification and computation.
I specialize in developing privacy-preserving solutions using zero-knowledge proofs, secure multi-party computation, and homomorphic encryption.
