About Me
Welcome to my webpage! I am an Applied Cryptography Researcher and Assistant Professor at the School of Data Science, IISER Thiruvananthapuram. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science with a specialization in Searchable Encryption. My research focuses on secure and efficient solutions for secure cloud computing, data privacy, and encrypted graph analytics, combining theory with real-world prototype implementations. I enjoy teaching. My current research focus includes blockchain foundations, particularly Ethereum and its Layer-2 technologies, as well as post-quantum cryptography.
