I am a third year graduate student in computer science at Cornell University. I am currently supported by an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. Prior to joining the Cornell department, I obtained my Bachelor of Arts degree in computer science and mathematics from Harvard University.

My primary research interests lie in the area of theoretical computer science with a focus on cryptography and security. My advisor is Rafael Pass. Other professors on my committee include Fred Schneider and Mitchel Lasser.
