Aishwarya Thiruvengadam

I am currently an Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer Science, IIT Madras. My research interests lie broadly within cryptography and theoretical computer science. My recent works have focused on provable security of symmetric-key cryptography.

Previously, I was a postdoctoral scholar at the Department of Computer Science, TU Darmstadt working with Prof. Marc Fischlin as part of the Cryptoplexity group. Prior to that, I was a postdoctoral scholar at the Department of Computer Science, University of California Santa Barbara working with Prof. Stefano Tessaro. I obtained my PhD from the University of Maryland, College Park where I was advised by Prof. Jonathan Katz and Prof. Dana Dachman-Soled.
