About Me

I am a first-year PhD student at COSIC, KU Leuven. I am interested in zk-SNARKs and, in particular, making them secure and efficient for practical applications. I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Fréderik Vercauteren and Dr. Mariana Gama.

Previously, I did my Master’s thesis at COSIC on distributed FRI-based SNARKs (Advisor: Prof. Nigel Smart), where I was lucky to have three wonderful mentors: Dr. Jiayi Kang, Dr. Mariana Gama and Dr. Emad Heydari Beni.
