About Me

I’m a third-year CS PhD student (advised by Dan Boneh) and a member of the Applied Cryptography Group.
My research interests are in cryptography and security. Recently, I have been focusing on zero knowledge proof systems and related primitives.
As an undergrad, I was a member of the Stanford Empirical Research Group advised by Zakir Durumeric. I also briefly worked with Marco Patrignani on secure compilation.

Here is my CV.
