About Me

Hi, I’m Yangrui Zhou. I am currently an undergraduate student majoring in Computer Science at Fudan University (expected graduation in June 2027).

My primary research interests lie at the intersection of Cryptography and Blockchain. I am passionate about designing privacy-enhancing protocols and building robust, decentralized infrastructure. I also have a interest in Theoretical Computer Science, Logic and Combinatorics.


🎓 Education

  • B.S. in Computer Science, Fudan University (2023 – 2027)
    • GPA: 3.78 / 4.00
    • Core Coursework: Architecture, Blockchain Technology, Theory of Computation, Abstract Algebra, Combinatorics, Model Theory.

Research Projects

  • Dynamic Privacy-Preserving Proofs of Assets on Blockchain Research Project Designed a dynamic Proof of Assets (PoA) system on Ethereum to resolve the trade-off between public address transparency and ZKP efficiency. Designed a dynamic asset proof mechanism that reduces incremental proof generation costs by binding local state to the blockchain’s global state and avoiding verification of chain-specific merkle proofs in zero-knowledge circuit.

  • A Survey on the Stable Arithmetic Regularity Lemma Survey Report PDF
    Investigated the intersection of regularity and stability, focusing on the stable arithmetic regularity lemma in finite fields by Terry and Wolf.


Engineering Projects

  • RISC-V Processor Design: Designed a 64-bit RISC-V CPU core supporting RV64I with a 5-stage pipeline and robust forwarding unit to minimize pipeline stalls. [Source Code]
  • Simple Bitcoin: Developed a Proof-of-Work blockchain system, featuring an Ethereum-style Account Model utilizing Merkle Patricia Tries and a custom P2P networking layer. [Source Code]
