Short Bio

I am a second year PhD student affiliated with the Information Processing Group (IPG) in the School of Computer and Communication Sciences at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland. I am advised by Prof. Yanina Shkel and Prof. Michael Gastpar, and I broadly work in Theoretical Computer Science. Beyond my research endeavors, I spend time exploring the flora and fauna around me, learning languages, and reading articles on Psychology and International Relations.

Previously, I did my bachelors with a B.Tech in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Patna (IIT-P) in India. I have been extremely fortunate to have worked with Sidharth Jaggi (University of Bristol), Amitalok Budkuley (IIT Kharagpur), Yihan Zhang (IST Austria), Laura Luzzi (ENSEA, CNRS), and Preetam Kumar (IIT Patna) during my undergraduate degree. My bachelors thesis titled 'Secure two-party computation: Information-theoretic Oblivious Transfer’, received the Institute Proficiency award for the best thesis in my cohort.
