I am a second-year PhD student at #link("https://www.cqt.sg/")[Centre for Quantum Technologies] (CQT), National University of Singapore. I am fortunate to be advised by #link("https://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~rahul/")[Prof. Rahul Jain].

Previously, I received my bachelor's degree from the Department of Computer Science and Technology, Tsinghua University. Before starting my PhD, I spent several enjoyable years at Douban Inc. as a development engineer.

My interests lie broadly in theoretical computer science and quantum computing, while I currently work mainly on quantum cryptography.
