Education and Work Experience

  • 2025 Ph.D. Computer Science

    GEORGIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY

    In May 2025, I earned my PhD in Computer Science from Georgia Tech's School of Cybersecurity and Privacy, where I completed my dissertation titled The Cryptographer's Symphony: Composing Efficient and Secure Computation. I have broad interests across all areas of cryptography, with my doctoral research focused specifically on secure multi-party computation (MPC). I have authored several papers in this area, all aimed at improving the concrete efficiency of MPC protocols. My research advisor was Professor 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 research internships with Google’s Private Computing team, mentored by Prof. Mariana Raykova and Dr. Karn Seth (New York); and one research 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.
