Ph.D. student at University of Maryland.
I am interested in security and applied cryptography.
I am a third year Ph.D. student in the Computer Science Department at the University Of Maryland, College Park. I am advised by Professor Jonathan Katz and Professor Elaine Shi. At VMware, I am working with Dahlia Malkhi and Ittai Abraham.
I am working towards improving the efficiency of privacy-preserving computation by improving oblivious RAMs and secure multiparty computation.
I am a recipient of the 2016 Google PhD fellowship in Security.
