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 long-term visiting fellow at the University of Wisconsin, Madison where I work with Rishab Goyal and his research group.
I work on building cryptographic protocols that address the dual concerns of privacy and accountability. To that end, the main focus of my research thus far has been on blind signature schemes, threshold cryptosystems and zero-knowledge proof systems with a particular interest in (classical) pairing- and (post-quantum) lattice-based cryptography.
I am on the job market for the 2025-2026 cycle.
