I am a postdoc at Cornell University working under the supervision of Rafael Pass and supported by Simons Postdoctoral Fellowship. I received my Ph.D. in computer science at Harvard University, where I was very fortunate to have Salil Vadhan as my advisor. My research interests are in the fields of cryptography, complexity theory, and pseudorandomness.

 

Before my Ph.D., I grew up in Taiwan, and received my bachelor degree from National Taiwan University. During my undergraduate studies, I worked on algorithms and machine learning.
