Education and Work Experience

2025 Ph.D. Computer Science
GEORGIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
I have a broad interest in all areas of cryptography, with my PhD research specifically focused on secure multi-party computation (MPC). I have authored multiple papers in this area, all with the aim of making MPC more concretely efficient. My research advisor is Prof. Vlad Kolesnikov.

In addition to my research at Georgia Tech, I have completed two research internships with Visa’s Advanced Cryptography team, mentored by Dr. Peter Rindal and Prof. Srinivasan Raghuraman (Palo Alto, Foster City); three internships with Google’s Private Computing team, mentored by Prof. Mariana Raykova and Dr. Karn Seth (New York); and one internship with Inpher, a start-up specializing in MPC, mentored by Dr. Mariya Georgieva (New York).
From 2017 to 2019, I worked as a software engineer at Inpher in New York, under the mentorship of Prof. Dimitar Jetchev (EPFL) and Prof. Nicolas Gama (University of Versailles).
2017 B.S. Computer Science
COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY
I hold a few patents.
Check out my talk on the research I conducted during one of my internships at Google in New York, including the open-sourced implementation. Note that performance has improved significantly since this talk was recorded. See the publication at EuroS&P 2024 for most up-to-date numbers.
