I currently serve as a Research Scientist and Team Lead at the Canadian Institute for Cybersecurity (CIC), University of New Brunswick, Canada. With over three years of postdoctoral experience, my research focuses on cybersecurity and post-quantum security. I hold both M.Tech and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science and Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, where I was awarded the prestigious Visvesvaraya Research Fellowship.
At CIC, I lead applied research projects in collaboration with national partners, including a major Canadian financial institution and the National Cybersecurity Consortium (NCC), to operationalize NIST’s post-quantum cryptographic algorithms in real-world environments. I am also an active member of the Cyber Attribution Data Centre (CADC), which supports cyber threat attribution through data-driven intelligence and advanced analytics.
My work bridges academic research and practical implementation, emphasizing risk assessment, cryptographic agility, and quantum-resilient solutions for critical infrastructure. I have published extensively in top-tier journals and conferences, contributed as a program committee member for international events, and regularly engage in outreach efforts to promote quantum-safe transition strategies across sectors.

Brief Details of Recent Research Contributions
Led collaborative projects with a major Canadian financial institution and the National Cybersecurity Consortium (NCC) to advance the practical implementation of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC). This work focused on assessing quantum-related risks in current security systems and developing actionable, quantum-safe migration strategies tailored to real-world environments.
Played a key role in designing and recommending cutting-edge security techniques and cryptographic solutions to address emerging threats posed by quantum computing. These efforts bridged the gap between academic research and industry needs, strengthening the cybersecurity posture of critical sectors such as finance and government.
In parallel, contributed as a Data Scientist at the Cyber Attribution Data Centre (CADC), where I supported advanced cyber threat attribution through data-driven intelligence, analytics, and cryptographic insights.
