I am a fourth-year student at Ashoka University, studying Computer Science and Mathematics. I am writing my undergraduate thesis on “Optimizing Falcon: Compact Signatures over NTRU Lattices” under Prof. Mahavir Jhawar. My research interests broadly span cryptography, specifically lattice-based and post-quantum cryptography. I am also interested in exploring topics in computer architecture.
At present, I am visiting the Data Systems Group, led by Laurent Bindschaedler, at the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems. I am also working on designing and implementing an indigenous lattice-based post-quantum public key encryption and signature scheme.
Previously, I interned at nanoDC Lab at IIT Gandhinagar. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Ashoka University with a Silver Medal in Computer Science. Beyond academics, I enjoy playing board games.
