Biography

I am currently on the academic job market!

I am a final year PhD student in electrical and computer engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, where I am fortunate to have Elaine Shi as my advisor. My research lies in the intersection between mechanism design and cryptography.

Previously, I was a research assistant at Academia Sinica, hosted by Kai-Min Chung. Before that, I was a blockchain researcher at DEXON foundation. I got my master’s degree in electrical engineering from National Taiwan University, and I got my bachelor’s degree from National Taiwan University, where I majored in physics and minored in philosophy.
