I am a second year Ph.D student at the Computer Science department at Indiana University, Bloomington. I am being supervised by Professor Ryan Henry. My main research areas are Multi-Party Computation, Zero Knowledge Proofs and Private Information Retrieval. Prior to this I had received my Msc. from Saarland University, Saarbrucken, Germany and Bachelors from Amrira Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Coimbatore, India. My Master Thesis titled, Implementation and Experimental Evaluation of a Combinatorial Min-Cost Flow Algorithm was carried out under the supervision of Andreas Karrenbauer at MPII Saarbrucken.
