I am a researcher in the Cryptography and Privacy group at Microsoft Research Redmond. My research focuses on defining and constructing cryptographic protocols and primitives. I am involved in projects on Privacy in ML (opens in new tab), Digital Identities (opens in new tab), and Secure Computing (opens in new tab) projects.

I completed a phd in Computer Science at Brown University, working under Anna Lysyanskaya (opens in new tab). During the summer of 2007, I went to IBM Zurich to work with Jan Camenisch in the idemix group, and I spent the fall semester of 2006 at the cryptography program (opens in new tab) at UCLA’s IPAM (opens in new tab). I did my undergrad at Harvey Mudd College (opens in new tab) in Computer Science and Math.
