About Me
I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Warwick, co-supervised by Graham Cormode and Hakan Ferhatosmanoglu. Currently, I am a visiting research student at the University of Oxford. In spring 2026, I was a visiting doctoral researcher at the University of Helsinki, working with Antti Honkela. I received my M.E. from Beihang University and B.E. from Jilin University.
Research Interests
My research centers on the design, analysis, and implementation of privacy-preserving algorithms, including but not limited to differential privacy, federated learning, and nearest neighbor search. I am particularly interested in creating elegant algorithmic solutions that achieve strong, non-trivial theoretical guarantees, a philosophy that ensures both robustness and practical applicability.
