I am an Assistant Professor at the Kahlert School of Computing and part of the Security/Privacy research cluster.

Research: I work on theoretical and applied cryptography, with an emphasis on developing privacy-preserving proof systems (e.g., zk-SNARKs), advanced digital signatures (e.g., adaptor signatures), and secure multi-party computation (e.g., coin-tossing), and exploring their applications in improving privacy, fairness, and accountability in blockchain and ML systems.

Education: Through 2020-2023, I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at CMU working with Vipul Goyal and Elaine Shi. I received my Ph.D. in 2020 from UC Santa Barbara where I was advised by Stefano Tessaro and Huijia (Rachel) Lin, and my Bachelors in CS and Masters in Math from BITS Pilani Goa in 2015.
