Introduction

I am a second-year PhD student at the University of Pennsylvania, where I am excellently advised by Pratyush Mishra. Before this, I obtained a BS (Research) at the Indian Institute of Science, where I majored in mathematics and did research with Chaya Ganesh.

Research interests.

My research interests (and experiences) lie in Cryptography, with a focus on Succinct Non-interactive ARguments of Knowledge (SNARKs). I would, however, be very excited about an opportunity to branch out.

Summer 2025.

This summer I will be in Berkeley to attend the cryptography workshops hosted by the Simons Institute. Please feel free to email me if you are around and want to chat/ collaborate.

Other

Research experiences.

Below is a list of my other experiences doing research, and the people I have been fortunate to interact with during them.

• Summer 2024 - Visited NYU, where I worked with Benedikt Bünz.
• Fall 2022 - Visited the amazing Crypto group at Aarhus University, where I initially worked with Claudio Orlandi, and later on also with Peter Scholl and Lawrence Roy.
• Spring 2022 - Interned at Microsoft Research (India), where I worked with Chaya Ganesh and Satya Lokam.

TAing and subreviewing.

I was a TA for CIS 5560 (Cryptography) at Penn in Spring 2024 and Spring 2025. Also, I subreviewed for Eurocrypt 2025 and Crypto 2025.
