I am a first-year PhD. student at the University of Warwick under supervision of Feng Hao in SAS Group.
My research is funded by Warwick's CDT (Centre for Doctoral Training) scholarship.
Previously, I was a bachelor student in computer science at the Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran. In summer 2024, I was an Intern at the Chinese University of Hong Kong under supervision of Patrick P. C. Lee and In summer 2023, I was an Intern at the Université de Bordeaux under supervision of Alice Pellet-Mary.
Reseach Interests
My research focuses on applied cryptography and privacy-preserving protocols, spanning authenticated key exchange (AKE), hybrid password authenticated key exchange (PAKE), secure multi-party computation (MPC), and end-to-end verifiable voting systems. I am particularly interested in designing protocols that bridge theoretical proofs with practical guarantees, while incorporating post-quantum primitives to ensure security in both contemporary and future adversarial settings.
