Short Bio

I am a computer science Ph.D. student at Purdue University. I am honored to be supervised by Professor Jeremiah Blocki for conducting my research in the different areas of privacy preserving and theoretical aspect of computer science. My field of interests includes Applied Cryptography, Secure Multi-party Computation, Memory-Hard Functions (MHF), Blockchain Technology, Obfuscation, Secure Cloud Computing, Searchable Encryption and other interesting applications which need privacy and we should provide their security in a provable manner (Provable Security).
