Min Xu Ph.D student in Computer Science Department of Computer Science University of Chicago, Hyde Park Chicago, IL 60637, USA Curriculum Vitae

I'm currently working as a research scientist at Facebook. I obtained my Ph.D. in Computer Science from University of Chicago in 2020. During my PhD, I have worked with Prof. David Cash on searchable symmetric encryption, Bolin Ding and Tianhao Wang on local differential privacy, and Ariel Feldman on cloud side channel mitigations.
