About

My name is Long, although I often go by Eledra as a unique nick name in all video games that I play.

I am currently in my 3rd year of my PhD at Laboratoire Lorrain De Recherche En Informatique Et Ses Applications (LORIA). My lab is a joint research unit of CNRS, the University of Lorraine and INRIA at Nancy, France. My main research topic is security for real-time peer-to-peer collaborative editing, which can be expressed somehow as how to secure a P2P version of Google docs (Check out MUTE).

I received my Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering from FPT University Vietnam in 2011. I spent some time working for FPT Software Vietnam as a developer before getting admitted to Aalto University, Finland, for a master degree in Mobile computing - Service and Security. My master thesis is Securely accessing encrypted cloud storage from multiple devices, supervised by Professor N.Asokan. We won the first prize of the European Privacy via IT Security: Innovating Mobile App Competition.

I am interested, and has also somewhat limited experience, in information security in general, applied cryptography and blockchain technology. I am also an enthusiastic about software architecture design and hackathons.

My leisure-time activities include, but not limited to, playing Dota2, RPGs, reading fantasy novels, watching culinary art videos and thriller movies.
