I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at Carnegie Mellon University advised by Elaine Shi. I recently received my PhD in Computer Science from the University of Washington, advised by Stefano Tessaro and Rachel Lin. I spent the summers of 2021 and 2022 as a research intern at NTT Research working with Ilan Komargodski. My current research interests lie mainly in the theory and foundations of cryptography.

Even earlier, I graduated from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur in July 2018 with a Bachelor of Technology (Hons.) in Computer Science and Engineering. I was advised by Debdeep Mukhopadhyay for my undergraduate thesis.
