Previously, I received my Ph.D. at Portland State University advised by Prof. Fang Song. My current research focuses on quantum pseudorandomness in cryptography. I am particularly interested in understanding the differences among various quantum pseudorandom primitives and exploring their computational indistinguishability across different security settings from a cryptographic perspective.

I completed the Post-Baccalaureate program at Portland State University, continued into its Master’s program, and received my M.S. degree in 2019. During this period, I developed a strong interest in theoretical computer science, especially quantum computing and cryptography, which motivated me to pursue further research in these areas.
