I am a faculty member in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Toronto and the Department of Mathematical and Computational Sciences at the University of Toronto, Mississauga. I am a member of the Theory Group.
Before joining U of T, I was at the Tata Insitute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai. Previously, I obtained my Ph.D. in Computer Science from University of California, Berkeley, where I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Sanjam Garg. Before that, I completed my undergraduate studies in Computer Science and Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras.
My research interests lie broadly in the theoretical foundations of Cryptography with a special focus on Secure Computation.
I am looking for motivated students to work with me on exciting topics in Cryptography! Please apply to our graduate program in Computer Science. If you are already admitted, please feel free to contact me through email or drop by my office!
