About

Hello! I’m a PhD Candidate in Computer Science at the University of Maryland and the Max Planck Institute for Security & Privacy via the Maryland-Max Planck Program, jointly advised by Jonathan Katz and Giulio Malavolta.

I am broadly interested in applied cryptography¹, especially in the context of blockchains. Last summer I was a research intern at a16z crypto, and previously at NTT Research. I am also a recipient of the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.

How to pronounce my name: No-Amy Glay-zer

• 2024-08-14: The blog post I wrote at a16z crypto last summer is finally online! (You can also find it on this site.) In it I compare registration-based encryption (the version from our 2023 paper) to previous key distribution approaches for encrypted messaging. (If you don’t want to read a whole blog post here’s the Twitter thread version.)
