I am currently at the Trust Lab, IIT Bombay, hosted by Chethan Kamath and Sruthi Sekar. During the summer, I worked as a research assistant at CISPA, hosted by Doreen Riepel. I completed my master’s thesis under the guidance of Matteo Campanelli, and I received my integrated master’s degree in Computer Science from VIT Bhopal University in India.
I have a broad general interest in theoretical computer science. My focus area is cryptography.
My current work focuses on theoretical computer science and cryptography, where we follow the Hardy–Littlewood rule. You can find earlier publications and student papers on cybersecurity and systems security on my Google Scholar. Please note that those works do not follow the Hardy–Littlewood rule.

My pastimes are hardly groundbreaking. I spend a lot of time buried in texts; scientific, literary, and whatever else catches my attention. I'm also drawn to classical writings, the camera lens, technical hikes, and public service.
Photography is the one I pursue with some consistency, though I've never bothered to keep a formal archive. Maybe someday I'll get around to adding a portfolio or some scattered thoughts here, assuming motivation strikes and entropy relents.
