I am an incoming PhD student in the Cryptography group at NYU. This past winter, I graduated from Rutgers University where I studied Mathematics and Computer Science.
Most generally, my long-term research goal is to leverage cryptography to prevent technology from controlling unwanted parts of our lives. This means better understanding the relationships between privacy, transparency, fairness, security, and accountability, as all of these inform how we should design real-world systems. I'm also interested in building and improving our existing cryptographic primitives in order to minimize the cost of these robust systems.
