Megumi Ando

Bio

I am a PhD candidate at Brown University's Computer Science Department, studying anonymity and privacy in distributed networks under the guidance of advisors Anna Lysyanskaya (cryptography) and Eli Upfal (machine learning). My first two years of graduate studies at Brown were funded by The MITRE Corp's Accelerated Graduate Degree Program.

I am reachable at mando - (at) - cs - (dot) - brown - (dot) - edu.
