Bio

I am a Ph.D. student in the department of Computer Science at Purdue University. I am very fortunate to be advised by Prof. Aniket Kate at FreedomLab. Previously, I obtained my Bachalor's and Master's degrees from Sun Yat-sen University, working with Prof. Wuhui Chen and Prof. Zibin Zheng.

My primary research interest is the consensus problem of distributed systems/blockchains. I am dedicated to developing scalable and secure consensus protocols toward supporting more emerging decentralized applications and mitigating new security issues, such as MEV.

In addition to doing research, I also enjoy singing. My friends call me Purdue's Eason Chan. My famous song - Half Moon Serenade, however, is created by another Cantonese singer Hacken Lee.
