Wei-Kai Lin is a postdoctoral research associate at the Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University, advised by Daniel Wichs. His research focuses on security and privacy, algorithms and theory, and cryptography.

Prior to joining Northeastern in 2022, Lin earned his doctorate in computer science from Cornell University. He had also worked as a research assistant at Academia Sinica —Taiwan and a senior software engineer at Mstar Semiconductor. Lin’s research has been published in the 2022 Symposium on Discrete Algorithms (SODA), Crypto (2021) and Eurocrypt (2020). In addition, he has also presented at conferences such as Asiacrypt, TCC, ITC and ITCS. Outside of academic research, Lin is a serious runner and cyclist.
