Sayandeep Saha

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay. Before joining IIT Bombay, I spent two wonderful years of postdoctoral research at NTU Singapore (Jan 2022 - Jan 2023; with Professor Thomas Peyrin) and UCLouvain Belgium (Feb 2023 - March 2024; with Professor François-Xavier Standaert). I completed my PhD from the  Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (Jul 2016 - Sep 2021) under the supervision of Professor Debdeep Mukhopadhyay and Professor Pallab Dasgupta. 

My primary area of research is Hardware Security and Cryptography. In my Ph.D. and postdoctoral research, I have worked on Fault Attacks for Symmetric-key cryptosystems and Post-Quantum public-key cryptosystems. I also work on Side-Channel attacks and other aspects of Hardware Security, such as microarchitectural attacks, Logic Locking, etc.  

Besides my research, I spend most of my leisure time reading books and travelling. 

I am actively looking for interested and motivated students. Please feel free to drop me an email if you are interested in my research area. Students from Electrical and Electronics backgrounds are also encouraged if they are interested in handling VLSI CAD tools and measurement equipment such as oscilloscopes.
