Before that he was a postdoctoral researcher at EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland where he worked with Prof. Carmela Troncoso. He is interested in solving real-world problems by designing end-to-end privacy-friendly systems. To do so he combines privacy, applied cryptography, and systems research. His work has real-world impact.
