I completed my PhD at Johns Hopkins University under the wonderful supervision of both Matthew Green and Abhishek Jain. I am generally interested in cryptography and its applications. More specifically, most of my research interests are at the intersection of cryptography with privacy, verifiable computation, and machine learning. One of the key focuses of my dissertation work was the security and construction of efficient SNARKs and proof systems, particularly those involving error-correcting codes. I was a recipient of the Ethereum Foundation’s academic grant that funded our work on SNARK security.
