I am associated with Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (IIT Madras), and working with Prof. John Augustine as a Postdoctoral Researcher.

Brief Bio: 

Recently, I completed my PhD in Message Efficient Fault-Tolerant Distributed Computations at Cryptology and Security Research Unit, Indian Statistical Institute Kolkata in the field of distributed computing under the supervision of Dr Anisur Rahaman Molla.

I received my B.Tech. degree in Information Technology (IT) from the National Institute of Technology (NIT), Kurukshetra , India, in 2015. Later, I moved to the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad for master in Wireless Communication.  I earned my M.Tech. degree in Computer Science (CS) from the Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata, in 2018. 

I was a summer intern in 2017, under the supervision of Dr  Debrup Chakraborty in the field of symmetric encryption. During M. Tech. thesis, I worked on “Security of XCB and HCTR"  under the guidance of Dr  Debrup Chakraborty.  Presently, I am a Post Doctoral Fellow at the IIT, Madras. My research has been concerned with secure distributed computation and distributed network algorithms.

Research Interest:

My research interests are in distributed computing and network algorithms. I am interested in the theory and application of large-scale distributed networks, the design and analysis of distributed algorithms, randomized algorithms and probabilistic analysis of algorithms, communication complexity, distributed computation via mobile agents, and security in distributed computing. In particular, I am working on problems like agreement, leader election, graph realizations in message passing model and dispersion, MST, and other graph-related problems in mobile robots.
