I'm a Research Assistant Professor in the School of Cybersecurity at Old Dominion University (ODU). I earned my PhD in Computer Science from Georgia State University (GSU), USA in August 2024, where I was fortunate to work with Prof. Zhipeng Cai and Prof. Daniel Takabi.

My research focuses on Privacy-preserving Machine Learning. I enjoy working on problems related to security and privacy in machine learning. For the last couple of years, I've had the opportunity to work on interesting research projects supported by Microsoft and the National Science Foundation, intersecting lattice-based cryptography, vision transformers, and large language models (LLMs).

Before beginning my PhD studies at GSU, I worked as a lecturer at the National Institute of Technology in India, shortly after completing my master’s degree at the Indian Institute of Technology. 

When I am not researching or spending time with my family, I spend my free time playing drums, traveling, and reading books.
