Biography

Personal website: https://txin.dev (I try to keep it updated).

Hello! I am Tianxin (pronounced as “Tee-an sheen” in English), Lecturer (yeah, ~assistant professor, feel free to click and learn more about the UK academic ranks) in Cybersecurity at the University of Glasgow, UK. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), Netherlands, hosted by Andreas Hülsing in the Applied and Provable Security Group, and at ETH Zurich, Switzerland, in the Applied Cryptography Group led by Kenny Paterson. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science under the supervision of Sasha Boldyreva from Georgia Institute of Technology, USA.
