Yanyi Liu
I am a PhD student in Computer Science at Cornell Tech.
I am very fortunate to be advised by
Prof. Rafael Pass
and Prof. Elaine Shi.
I am interested in cryptography and its interplay with computational complexity. My recent research focuses on
basing cryptography on standard complexity-theoretic assumptions (and ultimately, on the worst-case hardness of NP).
I received my bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Tsinghua University. My work won the best paper award at CRYPTO'21 and the NSA's Best Cybersecurity Research Paper competition. I am a recipient of the 2022 JP Morgan PhD Fellowship.
During my undergrad, I spent some wonderful time working with Prof. Vipul Goyal at CMU and Prof. Kilian Weinberger at Cornell.
For those outside the field but interested in my research, here are two nice quanta articles (by Erica Klarreich):
