I am currently a staff research engineer at Circle. Previously, I was a staff research scientist at Visa Research.
I was a postdoctoral researcher at University of Bern, working with Professor Christian Cachin.
I hold a PhD from Purdue University. I was advised by Professor Aniket Kate and Professor Mikhail Atallah
