About Me
I am a PhD student in the Security and Cryptography Group at UCSD.
Prior to UCSD, I worked at the Army Research Laboratory. I completed my Masters in Security Informatics and Computer Science at The Johns Hopkins University. Where I worked with Giuseppe Ateniese and Susan Hohenberger. I received my Bachelors degree in Computer Science from Wellesley College.
I am a National Physical Science Consortium Fellow.
Besides cryptography and security, I also enjoy long distance running and playing field hockey.
