I am a Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy (MPI-SP), under the supervision of Prof. Clara Schneidewind. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), where I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Amir Goharshady and Prof. Jiasi Shen. I previously earned an MPhil in Computer Science and Engineering from HKUST and a B.Sc. in Computer Engineering from Yazd University. In the summer of 2026, I visited Prof. Mingshuai Chen.

My research focuses on designing automated algorithms for optimization and verification problems, primarily in the context of blockchain. For my research, I have received a postdoctoral fellowship from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, a research grant from the Ethereum Foundation, and a start-up grant from the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park.
