Biography

I am currently a 5th year Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at Duke University and I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Ashwin Machanavajjhala and Prof. Kartik Nayak. I am generally interested in the research area of Differential Privacy, Applied Cryptography, Distributes Systems (Blockchains) and Databases. My current research focus on building large-scale, functionally-rich, potentially distributed or decentralized, private databases with provable security and privacy. I also have a broadly collobration with domain experts from various areas: AI/ML, Hardwares, Healthcare, Biomedicine, Finance and Banking.
