Huijia (Rachel) Lin is a Chinese-American computer scientist whose research in cryptography includes work on indistinguishability obfuscation and non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs.[1][2] She is an associate professor and Paul G. Allen Career Development Professor in the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington.[3][4]
Education and career
editLin has a bachelor's degree in computer science from Zhejiang University in China,[5] and a Ph.D. from Cornell University, completed in 2011. Her dissertation, Concurrent Security, was supervised by Rafael Pass.[6]
After postdoctoral research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Boston University, she became an assistant professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2013.[7] She took her present position at the University of Washington in 2018.[5]
Recognition
editSeveral of Lin's conference papers have won best paper awards.[3] She was an invited speaker at the 2022 (virtual) International Congress of Mathematicians.[8]
