I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. in Cryptography at Wuhan University (WHU), supervised by Huanguo Zhang.

Before (Dec 2023 - Mar 2025), I was a CSC Visiting Ph.D. student at the University of Wollongong (UOW), where I was hosted by Willy Susilo and was fortunate to study with the iC$^2$.
Before (Sep 2016 - Jun 2020), I completed my B.Sc. in Mathematics, also at Wuhan University.

My research focuses on cryptography and cyber security, to be more specific:

• Recently, my passion mainly lies in zero-knowledge proofs and privacy-preserving cryptographic tools derived from them, based on linear algebra assumptions conjectured to be quantum-resistant (e.g., Lattice, Code, and Rank).
• In the long term, I hope using technologies to establish trust among individuals, which I consider to be the most subtle and elegant aspect of cryptography.

I can be reached via wenjm at whu.edu.cn or cryptowjm at 163.com, if questions or we share common tastes.

🧰 Misc

Serendipity

My name starts with “jiami” (Chinese for “encrypt”), and ends with “mingwen” (Chinese for “plaintext”).
I remove “ng” from it to obtain “miwen” (Chinese for “ciphertext”) for several usernames of mine, e.g., wechat, twitter, and github, as I believe it is more suitable for spreading over the public channel :)

• IACR ePrint Archive, a mysterious website suggested visiting every day.
• The Lattice Club, including so many resources about Lattice-based Cryptography.
