\"XinXin Li<\/a>, assistant professor of computer science, has been selected by the National Science Foundation for its CAREER Award, which recognizes early-stage scholars with high levels of excellence and promise.<\/span><\/p>\n

Li\u2019s research focuses on theoretical computer science, including pseudorandomness, complexity theory, distributed computing, and cryptography. His CAREER Award-funded project will explore pseudorandom objects and their applications in computer science. One goal of this project is to develop new techniques for the construction of error-correcting codes, which would be used both to protect against tampering attacks by adversaries and to achieve privacy and security in cryptographic systems. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
