I am currently a postdoc with a joint appointment at Ruhr-Universität Bochum (working with Eike Kiltz) and Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy (working with Giulio Malavolta). Prior to this, I was a postdoc working with Sebastian Faust at TU Darmstadt. Earlier, I finished my Ph.D. from IIT Madras and thereafter worked as a research staff in the CCD@IITM group for a short period. During PhD, I was very fortunate to be advised by Shweta Agrawal.
For a detailed CV, feel free to reach me via any of the above emails.


Research Interests

 

My research interests are broadly in the theory and applications of public-key cryptography with a focus on computing on encrypted/authenticated data and building tools to enable distributed trust. During PhD, I worked largely on functional encryption and attribute based encryption.
