About Me:
I am a PhD Student at EPFL, Switzerland under the supervision of Serge Vaudenay working in cryptography; I have been working at EPFL since September, 2019.
Previously, I studied Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Sydney, where I spent time under the supervision of Vincent Gramoli in distributed computing which culminated in an Honours thesis.
So far, I work on or have worked on the following topics:
- Secure messaging and ratcheting, in both the two party and group settings
- Distributed computing (consensus and beyond)
- Side channels
- Symmetric cryptography
