Assistant Professor
Aalborg University in Copenhagen
interested in Cryptography

Hello!

I am an Assistant Professor at Aalborg University in the CMI Section in the Faculty of Electronic Systems. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Crypto Group at Aarhus University hosted by Prof. Claudio Orlandi. I did my PhD at Bar-Ilan University under the supervision of Prof. Carmit Hazay, and my Master's degree in CSE specializing in Cryptography from IIT Bombay, where I did my Master's thesis under Prof. Manoj Prabhakaran.

Research

My research broadly deals with secure multi-party computation (MPC), specifically outsoursed computation and MPC-as-a-Service. My PhD thesis focusses on designing garbled circuits based solutions for the same. My other research areas include designing MPC protocols for a wide range of settings and the design and application of garbling schemes.
