I am a cryptography researcher, specializing in applying cutting-edge cryptography to design and deploy secure, private and auditable decentralized computation systems. I am the Compute Core Team Lead at Silence Laboratories (employed by Multiplier).
My primary research area is secure Multi-Party Computation (MPC). MPC is a type of network protocol which allows computation 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 live with my wife and better half, Maria Katanga Noble, in Dublin, Ireland.
