I am currently a second-year Ph.D. student at the University of Edinburgh under the supervision of Prof. Aggelos Kiayias.
Before that, I got my M.S. degree in Computer Science from Texas A&M University.
My master supervisor is Prof. Juan Garay.
I got my B.S. degree in Computer Science and Technology from Jilin University in July 2019.
I worked as an intern at ByteDance in cross-platform framework team from Aug 2018 to Aug 2019.

I am broadly interested in the interplay of distributed algorithms and cryptography, especially the design and analysis of blockchain protocols.
My recent research focus has been

• Rethinking clock synchronization in a permissionless setting;
• Transaction order serialization with fair order.
