About Me

I am a PhD student at the University of Utah’s Kahlert School of Computing. I am fortunate to be advised by Pratik Soni.

As a computer scientist and mathematician, my research touches both theoretical and applied computer science.

Currently, I study zero-knowledge proof systems, (i.e. SNARKs) and attempt to make them more time and space efficient in terms of prover overhead while maintaining reasonable verification demands, especially where our primitives can be post-quantum. I am also interested in the usability of zero-knowledge systems, and other aspects of their practical realization apart from prover and verifier time. Generally, I am interested in developing efficient privacy preserving systems to accommodate an internet which can be decentralized and trustless.
