Welcome!

I am a fourth-year PhD candidate in computer security at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI Amsterdam), advised by Prof. Fabio Massacci and Prof. Marten van Dijk, with Dr. Chenglu Jin as my daily supervisor. My research sits at the intersection of secure computation, distributed system security, and SAT-based security analysis.

I work on privacy-preserving sensor fusion under Byzantine faults and collusion. This line of work includes PG (ACM CCS 2024, co-first author), which provides Byzantine-fault-tolerant fusion with guaranteed output delivery, and CRSF (ISC 2026, first author), which strengthens the setting against sensor–server collusion and adversarial control of participation. I am also developing SAT-based function recovery attacks on gate-hiding garbled circuits. Earlier, I studied incentive attacks in proof-of-work mining pools (ACSAC 2022, co-first and corresponding author).
