Sijun Tan (谭嗣俊)

I am a second-year CS PhD student at UC Berkeley, advised by Raluca Ada Popa. I am affiliated to Berkeley’s Sky Computing Lab.

Previously, I graduated from University of Virginia with a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Mathematics, where I was advised by David Wu and Yuan Tian. I also worked with Professors Haifeng Xu and Xiaohui Bei. I interned at Facebook AI Research (FAIR) and worked at Ant Group as a senior algorithm engineer.

My work spans machine learning, computer security, and applied cryptography. Currently, I am working on building secure and decentralized systems for Generative AI.

If you are interested in research collaboration, please shoot me an email.
