About Me

Eileen Nolan

Hello!

I am a third-year computer science Ph.D. student at Brown University. My research focuses on privacy-preserving cryptography, where I aim to develop technologies that enhance online privacy and address the growing vulnerabilities of our digital lives. I am very grateful to be advised by Dr. Anna Lysyanskaya.

My current research interests include:

  • Anonymous tokens with hidden metadata
  • Anonymous credentials and mercurial signatures
  • Private set intersection and heavy hitters
  • Cryptographic image authentication

Beyond Research

I love outdoor activities. I enjoy running, biking, swimming, and hiking to name a few.

I love wildlife, especially birds, and I have a growing collection of ducks in my office.

(If you stop by my office I might give you a mini duck).
