We are hiring two postdoctoral researchers at Boston University to work at the intersection of systems and applied cryptography. đ About the role We are building secure and scalable computing infrastructure using secure multiparty computation (MPC), fully homomorphic encryption (FHE), and trusted execution environments (TEEs). We seek candidates who combine strong foundations with hands-on systems […]
Our paper “Koala: Non-disruptive Reconfiguration for Long-running Stateful Dataflows” was just accepted at USENIX NSDI’27! Koala is a novel reconfiguration protocol for distributed dataflow systems that retains the operational performance of embedded-state architectures while matching the disruption-free adaptability of external-state designs. Unlike prior protocols which relocate all state regardless of whether it will soon be […]
PI Mayank Varia and co-PIs Vasiliki Kalavri and John Liagouris received 3-year, $1.2M award from the NSF Cybersecurity Innovation for Cyberinfrastructure (CICI) program! The project focuses on developing an open-source software platform to enable the deployment of privacy-preserving scientific workflows across both open and commercial cloud infrastructures. To achieve this, the team is building the […]
