I am currently a Senior Research Scientist in the Cryptography Research Group at MongoDB. I focus on designing practical techniques for leakage suppression in structured encryption. Before this, I was a Ph.D. student in the Brown University Encrypted Systems Lab, working with Professor Seny Kamara.
