I am a lecturer at the Department of Computer Engineering, Chulalongkorn University.
From 2020 to 2024, I spent my postdoc time at Tokyo Institute of Technology (under Prof. Toshiya Itoh) and then at The University of Electro-Communications (under Prof. Mitsugu Iwamoto).
I received my Master's and Ph.D. from Tokyo Institute of Technology in 2017 and 2020, respectively, where I was advised by Prof. Toshiya Itoh and Prof. Osamu Watanabe. Before that, I received my Bachelor's from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2015.
My research interests are card-based cryptography, puzzles (and their complexities), matching under preferences, and graph algorithms.
