About Me:

My main research area is cryptography. Some of the topics that I work on are: I'm also interested in computer security, algorithms, complexity theory, coding theory, information theory.
Check out the theory and security groups at Northeastern!

Prior to joining NEU, I was a Josef Raviv Memorial Postdoctoral Fellow
at IBM Research T.J. Watson.

I got my PhD in Computer Science at New York University (NYU) in 2011.
I was very fortunate to have Yevgeniy Dodis as my advisor.
I got my Bachelor's degree in Mathematics and Master's degree in Computer Science at Stanford University in 2005.
