About Me
I am a fourth-year PhD student in Computer Science at the University of California, San Diego, interested mainly in cryptography. I am a member of the Security and Cryptography Group and am jointly advised by Mihir Bellare and Stefan Savage.
 
Before coming to UCSD, I obtained an Sc.M. in Computer Science from Brown University in 2009 under the guidance of Anna Lysyanskaya. I also obtained my Sc.B. in Mathematics from Brown in 2008. I spent the summer of 2011 at MSR Redmond, working in the cryptography group with Melissa Chase.
