Welcome to my webpage! I am an Applied Cryptography Researcher. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata. My research revolves around post-quantum cryptography, searchable encryption, secure cloud computing, privacy-preserving systems, and blockchain security. Through the Quantum-Resilient Applied Cryptography (QuRAC) Research Group, I lead research on quantum-resilient cryptographic systems, privacy-enhancing technologies, and secure computing solutions for next-generation applications.

In simple terms, I spend a lot of time thinking about how to keep data secure while still making it useful. When I am not proving security theorems or chasing elusive bugs, you will probably find me teaching, discussing research with students, writing code that works on the third attempt, or wondering why a proof looked much simpler yesterday. I enjoy exploring new technologies, reading about computer science, playing badminton, travelling, and occasionally explaining to my computer that the proof is correct even if the implementation disagrees. If you share an interest in cryptography, security, or simply enjoy solving challenging problems, feel free to get in touch!
