University of Calgary

I am a PhD. candidate at Department of Computer Science, University of Calgary. My research interests are in cryptography and privacy with a special focus on Secure Computation and Privacy Enhancing protocols. I am working under the supervision of Payman Mohassel. I was fortunate to spent the summer of 2014 as Research Intern at Cryptography Group, Microsoft Research, Redmond, working with Seny Kamara.
