AboutBlogResearchProjectsTeaching

I'm a final-year undergraduate student interested in research on Zero-Knowledge Proofs and Secure Multi Party Computation. My undergraduate thesis is on designing and developing privacy-preserving age proofs for Aadhaar using Falcon. Other projects I am currently working on are focussed on Authenticated Private Set Intersection and Post-Quantum Secure Key Management Frameworks. Apart from academics, I swim competitively and enjoy playing the guitar.
