I am a sixth year Ph.D Student at Purdue University in the Computer Science department.
My broad research interests are in Theoretical Cryptography.
More specifically, my interests lie in error-correcting codes and their applications to cryptography, as well as efficient proof and argument systems.
I am a member of the Cryptography Group and the Theory Group at Purdue.
