Team

I was a post-doctoral researcher at the Cryptography and Privacy Engineering Group (ENCRYPTO) in the Department of Computer Science at Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany. I completed my PhD from the Department of Computer Science and Automation at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, where I was advised by Prof. Arpita Patra. I obtained my M.Tech and B.Tech degree, both, in Computer Science and Engineering from National Institute of Technology Goa, where I was advised by Prof. Purushothama B.R.

Since October 2024 I am a Cryptography Researcher at Aztec Labs.

I am fascinated by cryptography which forms my area of research. Specifically, I work in the area of secure Multi-Party Computation (MPC). My research focuses on designing privacy-preserving protocols for various applications such as machine learning, graph computation, and fraud detection to name a few.
