Why I Teach

I used to be a Graduate TA for 5 semesters during my Ph.D. studies at the University of Notre Dame. The classes I TA’ed were undergrad algorithms and cryptography. I found it very interesting to get along with students, and the positive feedback from my students when I solved their problems was the most fulfilling moment during my teaching experience. Therefore, I decided to devote more time to the education side of this field after my graduation.

Additional Information

My research interests are secure data sharing, data provenance, fair exchange, and applied cryptography. Although blockchain has been the major tool that we’ve been using for our research, I cannot give any wise suggestions on which coin you should purchase since I’m bad at investment 🙁
