Research Scholar at IISc Bangalore | Cryptography & Information Security
Passionate about advancing the frontiers of cryptography through innovative research in Secure Multi-Party Computation, Zero-Knowledge Proofs, and Fully Homomorphic Encryption.
Welcome to my academic journey! I am a research scholar in the Department of Computer Science and Automation at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, working under the supervision of Prof. Arpita Patra in the Cryptography and Information Security (CrIS) lab.
My research focuses on the fascinating world of cryptography, with particular emphasis on Secure Multi-Party Computation (MPC). I am also deeply interested in exploring Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP) and Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE). Prior to my doctoral studies, I completed my M.Tech in Cryptology and Security from the Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata, where I explored proxy re-encryption and updatable encryption.
I am passionate about advancing the theoretical foundations of cryptography while also considering their practical applications in building secure and privacy-preserving systems.
