About me

Stay hungry, stay foolish, and never be afraid of stepping into the unknown.

I am currently a Post-doctoral researcher at Department of Computer Science, Aalto university in Finland. I work in the cryptographic team supervised by Prof. Kaisa Nyberg. I had my Ph.D. degree in August 2014 at Department of Computer Science, City University of Hong Kong under the supervision of Dr. Duncan Wong.

Research Interest

Cybersecurity, privacy and security in information technology; in particular, cloud security, big data security, genomic privacy, privacy enhancing technology, cryptocurrencies, blockchain, privacy in internet of things, and lightweight secure systems. Currently, I am interested in bringing back security and privacy to big data analysis, and exploring secure blockchain technology in other commercial/business scenarios. In addition, I am also interested in some crazy projects or ideas, such as self-learning/developing/recovering cryptosystem. If you have any crazy idea, please feel free to contact me.
