Projects

These projects show the current foundation of my research agenda. The storage projects study trust, verification, recovery, and partial failure in decentralized infrastructure; the hackathon project reflects my applied work in LLM security and technical education.

Current Research

Hierarchical trusted decentralized storage architecture

Under review

HiDCE

Secure and trustworthy distributed systems

A trusted-hardware-assisted decentralized storage architecture that combines erasure coding, cryptographic verification, self-audit, and self-repair under partially trusted infrastructure.

Role: Researcher
