Rust Developer

Cryptography Researcher

I am a MS CS student at NYU Courant, specialising in Theoretical Computer Science and Cryptography. I possess a strong academic background to understand the key security and soundness properties of various cryptographic primitives and protocols as well as the practical skills necessary to implement and optimise them. I have been frequently collaborating by Dr. Benedikt Bunz of Espresso Systems in implementing and optimising various protocols including 'Accumulation without Homomorphism' [BMNW'24], the Zcash sapling protocol using Arkworks, and 'ARC: Accumulation for Reed-Solomon Codes' [BMNW'24b]. I am currently working with researchers at Brooklyn Application, Architecture and Hardware Lab in optimising the variants of zero-check protocol for hardware accelerators. I am looking forward to collaborate with fellow researchers and developers who strive to make blockchains more efficient and affordable.

Apart from cryptography for blockchains, I also research on Computational Complexity Theory, specifically on doubly efficient interactive proof systems.
