Wenhao Wang

I am a CS PhD student at Yale University advised by Prof. Fan Zhang. Before that, I obtained my Bachalor's degree from Yao Class, Tsinghua University in 2023, where I was advised by Prof. Yifan Song.

My research interests lie in applied cryptography and security, including but not limited to:
