I am currently a PhD student at Duke University, specializing in the theoretical aspects of blockchain. My research experience includes analyzing Solana’s protocol and Ethereum’s Inclusion List design. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and a Master's degree in Mathematics from UW-Madison.

With a strong theoretical foundation, I am now eager to bridge the gap between theory and practice by building real-world blockchain applications. I consider myself a beginner in this BUIDLthon, but I am fully committed to contributing to the project and providing theoretical insights to help shape our design choices.

What I Bring to the Team

  • Theoretical Expertise: Deep understanding of blockchain protocols, cryptographic primitives, and decentralized systems.
  • Problem-Solving Mindset: Strong mathematical and analytical skills to tackle complex challenges.
  • Team Dedication: Committed to actively participating in development, learning new tools, and supporting teammates.
  • Curiosity & Growth: Excited to gain hands-on Web3 development experience and collaborate with builders from diverse backgrounds.

I'm looking forward to connecting with like-minded developers, learning from experienced builders, and contributing meaningfully to an exciting project at ETHDenver!
