I am an incoming computer science PhD student at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. I graduated (offline!) from the International Institute of Information Technology, Bangalore (IIITB) with an integrated mtech degree in computer science as part of the batch of 2022. I am extremely grateful to have finished my master’s thesis under the supervision of Professor Ashish Choudhury.

I am interested, broadly, in cryptography, and specifically, in secure multi-party computation. What I love the most about research is the absurd assurance I feel when I get the wrong solution, and the complete lack of expectation I have when I finally get the right one :) Seeing the final draft of a paper I have co authored is also a very special feeling.
