1 Xianrui Meng MCS 138, 111 Cummington Mall Boston, MA (857) RESEARCH INTERESTS In my research, I investigate practical privacy-preserving solutions for data analytics and cloud computing, such as searchable encryption and graph encryption. Broadly, my work is mainly focused on designing and analyzing privacy-preserving technologies for databases and cryptographic protocols, often motivated by privacy issues in cloud computing, big data, machine learning, and cyber-security. EDUCATION Massachusetts, USA Post-Bachelor Ph.D. Program in Computer Science, 4.0/4.0 September, 2010 present Dissertation Topic : Practical Privacy-Preserving Queries on Encrypted Databases Research Area: Data Privacy, Database Security, Data Mining, Applied Cryptography Major Advisor: Prof. George Kollios Massachusetts, USA Master of Science in Computer Science, 3.89/4.00 September, 2010 February, 2013 Master Thesis: Security and Privacy-preserving Aspects of Mobile application for Post-Surgical Care Major Advisor: Prof. Steven Homer The State University of Pennsylvania Pennsylvania, USA Bachelor of Science, 3.91/4.00 (Magna Cum Laude) September, 2006 May, 2010 Mathematics and Computer Science (Dual Degree) Minor: Statistics, Electronics PUBLICATIONS NED: An Inter-Graph Node Metric Based On Edit Distance.

Constructing novel encrypted indexing structures for efficient querying by leveraging techniques from searchable encryption. Mentor: Seny Kamara, Researcher in the Cryptography Group Research Fellow at Privacy-preserving Machine Learning Algorithm Working on developing privacy-preserving protocols for machine learning algorithms, such as clustering for malicious domain detection and secure entity resolution. Research funded by NSF CNS (A Modular approach to Cloud Security) With Alina Oprea (RSA lab) Structured Encryption for Massive Datasets To develop the encryption scheme for system of structured datasets. Research funded by NSF CNS (A Modular approach to Cloud Security) With Seny Kamara(MSR), George Kollios 2/5

3 Working on developing graph encryption scheme for large graph database with support of various graph queries. Research funded by NSF III (Managing and Mining Uncertain Graphs) With Seny Kamara (MSR), Kobbi Nissim (Harvard & Ben-Gurion), George Kollios Managing and Mining Uncertain Graphs Proposed a provable inter-graph node metric and an efficient algorithm for modified tree edit distance. The novel node similarity measurement is demonstrated to be effective in transfer learning and de-anonymization.
