About Me
I am a fourth year graduate student in the Department of Computer Science at Stanford University. I am broadly interested in cryptography, security, and theoretical computer science. I work with Prof. Dan Boneh.
My recent research focuses on modeling and building secure deterministic and searchable encryption schemes. I also work on building encryption and signature schemes from lattice-based cryptography, among other topics in cryptography.
I graduated from the Computer Science and Engineering Department at IIT Madras with a Bachelors of Technology in Computer Science with a minor in Physics in July 2009.
