My research interests lie in distributed systems and security, with a focus on emerging technologies including blockchain systems, confidential computing, and AI agents. My goal is to build trustworthy distributed infrastructures that remain secure, scalable, confidential, and adaptive under increasingly dynamic and heterogeneous environments. Below are several representative research directions.

This project applies stochastic processes to analyze decentralized incentives and BFT consensus designs. Related analysis include selfish mining in Ethereum ([ICDCS'19](https://arxiv.org/abs/1901.04620)) and Bitcoin-NG ([Performance'20](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2001.05082.pdf)), chained HotStuff ([INFOCOM'21](https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.04947)/[TDSC'25]()), Crystal (block withholding resilience, [TDSC'22](https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.00741)), Ethereum's private transactions ([ACSAC'24](https://jianyu-niu.github.io/)), chained BFT framework ([ToN'26](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2501.02970)), Solana's PoH ([Security'26](https://www.usenix.org/conference/usenixsecurity26)).
