Gefei Tan

I am a first year PhD student in the Computer Science Department at Northwestern University, fortunately advised by Professor Xiao Wang. Before starting my PhD, I obtained my MS degree from the MSCS program at Northwestern in 2023. Before that, I received my Bachelor degree from Beijing University of Technology in 2020.

Research interest: Broadly speaking, I am interested in cryptography, both its theoretical and practical perspectives. My recent projects involve designing efficient protocols for real-world privacy-preserving tasks that utilize Multi-Party Computation and Zero-Knowledge Proofs.
