Mahnush Movahedi

I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of New Mexico, USA. I received my Bachelor's degree and Master's degree in Information Technology from Amirkabir University of Technology (Tehran Polytechnic), Iran. I am interested in randomized algorithms, game theory, distributed systems, computer networks, and security.

I am currently working as a research assistant under supervision of Prof. Jared Saia. Generally speaking, we are working on scalable distributed algorithms such as Secure Multi-Party Computation (SMPC) and secret sharing. You can read more about our work in the following publications:
