Hi! I am faculty member in the Computer Science Department at National University of Singapore.

My research is on security of machine learning and software/hardware systems.

Current Research Thrusts:

    Security & Privacy for ML: Robust Aggregation, Crypto ML, Differential Privacy, Quantitative Verification (eg. see MAPS)
    Rethinking Security in Processors: Secure Enclaves, ISA / Architecture Design, and Safe HDLs (eg. see CAPSTONE)
    Automatic Program Translation: C to Rust, and between Scripting Languages (eg. see APT)

Past Research Projects:
    (2009 - 2016) Web Security: Defenses for Script Injection Attacks, Design of Browser Extensions, String SMT
    (2008 - 2016) Memory Safety: Binary Analysis, Taint Tracking, Data-oriented Attacks
    (2015 - 2022) Distributed Systems Security: Byzantine Consensus in Permissionless Networks, Security in Decentralized Finance
    (2014 - 2022) Privacy: Differential Privacy for Graph Learning, Anonymity and Obliviousness in Distributed Systems

Please see our old and recent papers organized by clickable topics at our publications page.
I lead the KISP Lab and direct the NUS Crystal Center. KISP stands for 'Keep It Secure and Private'.

Several spinoffs came out of our research, notably Zilliqa and Kyber Network.
I have fond memories of the CS department at UC Berkeley, where I got my PhD in 2012.
