About me

I am a fifth year computer science PhD student at Portland State University, where I am advised by Prof. Fang Song. I am interested in the area of cryptography, and broadly in theoretical computer science. Currently, my research involves studying the potential and limitations of quantum information in enhancing classical cryptography.

Previously, I was a computer science undergraduate at IIIT Bangalore. During my senior year there, I worked on secure multiparty computation and byzantine consensus under the supervision of Prof. Ashish Choudhury.
