Jiaxin Guan | 管佳鑫

I am an Applied Cryptographer at Zellic, where I audit and conduct research across a wide range of advanced cryptographic systems.

My academic research focuses on the space aspects of cryptography, exploring scenarios where space is a limited resource for either adversaries or honest users. This includes work on the Bounded Storage Model, incompressible cryptography, streaming functional encryption, and space lower bounds. I am also broadly interested in other topics in theoretical and applied cryptography in general.

Previously, I was an Assistant Professor / Faculty Fellow at New York University, hosted by Marshall Ball and Yevgeniy Dodis. I earned my PhD from Princeton University, where I was fortunate to be advised by Mark Zhandry. I graduated with a B.S. with Honors and a M.S. from Stanford University, with Dan Boneh as my advisor.

When I’m not working, I mostly enjoy photography, theater, and cooking.
