Tianxin Tang

Hello! I am Tianxin,1 a lecturer2 at University of Glasgow, UK. Before that, 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.

I am interested in provable security and exploring the wonderful world of PETs (privacy-enhancing technologies). Some of my recent research interests include post-quantum cryptography and formal verification.

Yes, I am looking for a phd student working with me! (Check the news section)
