About Me

I am a fifth-year Ph.D. student in the Computer Science Department at The University of Texas at Austin working with Professor Brent Waters.

Before coming to the US for my Ph.D. I obtained my B.Tech+M.Tech from IIT Madras in 2019 where I was advised by Professor Shweta Agrawal. 

I'm broadly interested in theoretical computer science, cryptography, cybersecurity, and policy.
