I am a cryptography and privacy researcher. Currently, I am a member of the Cryptography, Security, and Privacy lab at the University of Waterloo; my advisors are Dr. Douglas Stebila and Dr. Ian Goldberg. I also work as a principal researcher for the Zcash Foundation. Before moving into cryptography research, I worked as an engineer at ThoughtWorks and HashiCorp on open-source security and privacy related projects.

My current and past research includes the following:

• Designing quantum-secure cryptographic primitives.
• Efficient threshold signatures.
• Improved privacy properties for multi-party signature schemes.
• Security of secret sharing schemes.
