I am a researcher working at Cryptape and Nervos, exploring the frontiers of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. I earned my Ph.D. in 2019 from the COSIC research group at KU Leuven, Belgium, supervised by Professor Bart Preneel. During my doctoral studies, I gained practical experience through an internship at Blockstream, where I collaborated with Bitcoin core developers Pieter Wuille and Gregory Maxwell. Prior to my doctoral work, I completed both a Bachelor’s degree in mathematics and a Master’s degree in computer science from Peking University, China.
