About Me

I am an assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. In May 2016, I earned my Ph.D. in computer science department from University of Kentucky, under the supervision of Dr. Andrew Klapper. I completed my master and bachelor degree in Computer Science from Central China Normal University in China. Before joining Holy Cross, I taught at Elizabethtown College in PA. My research mostly has been in the area of cryptography and network security. For more information please see my C.V.
