Introduction

I am a third-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.

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

  • Summer 2025 - Visited Berkeley to attend the cryptography workshops hosted by the Simons Institute.
  • Summer 2024 - Visited NYU, where I worked with Benedikt Bünz.
  • Fall 2022 - Visited the 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 Satya Lokam.

TAing and subreviewing.

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