I am a cryptography researcher at Silence Laboratories.
My primary research area is secure Multi-Party Computation (MPC). MPC is a type of network protocol which allow computations to be performed within a network, on secret-shared (aka sharded) data, so that no individual computer in the network has access to any data. I work on making these protocols more efficient, so that they can be used in real-world applications, enhancing security, providing privacy and ensuring reliability for computation on sensitive data.
I have a PhD in Computer and Information Science from the University of Pennsylvania (graduated May 2024), where I was blessed to be advised by Brett Hemenway Falk. My thesis was about efficient Distributed Oblivious RAM, which are protocols for efficient memory accesses inside of MPC programs (on secret-shared indexes).
Besides MPC, I also have experience in Blockchains (consensus protocols), Zero-Knowledge Proofs, Private Information Retrieval, Homomorphic Encryption, Proactive Secret Sharing and Oblivious RAM. I am happy to provide technical advice to anyone who is exploring use of such systems.
I am based in Dublin, Ireland.
