Sijun Tan

I graduated with highest distinction from the University of Virginia with a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Mathematics. During my undergraduate study, I worked with Professors David Wu and Yuan Tian on scalable privacy-preserving machine learning, and with Professors Haifeng Xu and Xiaohui Bei on handling miscalibration in peer reviews.

My research lies in cryptography, machine learning, and distributed systems. I am mainly interested in research in the following two directions: 1) build systems that can protect users’ data privacy by leveraging cryptographic tools. 2) studying cryptographic primitives that can improve the scalability, verifiability, and privacy of blockchain.
