I am Wen Wang, a final-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Yale University, working with Prof. Jakub Szefer. I am interested in post-quantum cryptography and hardware security. My research focuses on designing secure, flexible and efficient hardware/software architectures for different families of post-quantum cryptography targeting new-generation heterogeneous computing platforms.

I am a PhD Student at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden under the guidance of Professor Per Stenström. My research focuses on GPU architectures for approximate computing systems.
