Talks

• What Makes Cryptography Secure? CSides (June 2020). (slides | notes)

My main research interests lie in applied cryptography. My thesis is a proposed protocol for verifiable postal voting, mixing the benefits of paper voting with cryptographic assurance and honest-but-curious receipt freeness. Other interests include distributed systems, programming language design, abstract algebra, and category theory.

I have a grade of 8th kyu in goju ryu karate, play guitar, am learning piano, and occasionally make videogames. I enjoy gardening, musical theatre, and roleplaying games of all kinds.
