International Association
for Cryptologic Research

We are recruiting PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and research interns to join a new research group advised by Dr. Tiantian Gong at Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore).

• PhD students: Fall 2027 intake.
• Postdoctoral researchers and research assistants: Applications are considered year-round, with flexible start dates.

Our research aims to build the theoretical foundations and practical systems needed for secure and privacy-preserving distributed computation. Current interests include:

• Foundations of secure computation, including new cryptographic primitives, new perspectives on classical primitives, and fundamental lower and upper bounds.
• Secure computation for emerging computer systems, including strengthening privacy guarantees and mitigating harmful collective behavior in agentic AI, blockchains, cloud computing, and other distributed systems.

Applicants with backgrounds in cryptography, theoretical computer science, security, distributed systems, mathematics, or related areas are welcome.
