I currently work in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT, where I've taught 6.042, 6.006 and 6.046.

I'm interested in secure computation and its applications to various real-world problems. Before coming to MIT, I was a PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at Yale University, where I worked under Prof. Joan Feigenbaum. I also have a BSc in Computer Science from St. Xavier's College, under Calcutta University. Take a look at my CV for more details. My contact details are also available here.
