# About me


I am a Senior Research Scientist at Category Labs working in Cryptography. I recently completed my PhD in Computer Science from the University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign (ranked 4 in the world for Computer Science research as per CSRankings website) where I was supervised by Prof. Dakshita Khurana and Prof. Andrew Miller. My research includes topics primarily in Cryptography, both theoretical and applied. I also enjoy exploring topics in Consensus, Quantum Computing, Artificial Intelligence, Game theory, Economics and Philosophy. In my free time, I like to cook, ride motorcycle, watch comedy shows and documentaries, play guitar and introspect.
