I am a PhD candidate in Computer Science at George Mason University where I am advised by Foteini Baldimtsi. Since 2023, I have also been a visiting fellow at the University of Wisconsin, Madison where I work with Rishab Goyal.
My work focuses on designing practically efficient cryptographic protocols that address the dual concerns of privacy and accountability, with a particular emphasis on blind signature schemes, authentication schemes, zero-knowledge proof systems and threshold cryptosystems.
