Gefei Tan

I am a second year PhD student in the Computer Science Department at Northwestern University, fortunately advised by Xiao Wang and Ning Luo. Before starting my PhD, I obtained my Master’s degree from Northwestern in 2023 and my Bachelor’s 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 Secure Multi-Party Computation and Zero-Knowledge Proofs.
