Since June 2022 I am a cryptography researcher at Concordium . Before joining Concordium, starting on June 2019 until May 2022, I was a PhD student in the Cryptography and Security Group at Aarhus University under the supervision of Jesper Buus Nielsen. I obtained my master’s degree in Computer Science from Sharif University of technology under the guidance of Shahram Khazaei.

My research is mainly focused on privacy-preserving technologies for blockchains, particularly proof systems with desirable properties, such as succinctness and zero knowledge.
