About Me.

 

I am currently a Senior Scientist at the Cryptography and Information Security group at NTT Research in California. I am also an adjunct professor at CMU. Prior to joining NTT Research, I was an Associate Professor in the Computer Science Department at CMU. Even before that, I spent 7 happy years at Microsoft Research.

 


 

Research Interests. Cryptography, Quantum Cryptography, Security & Privacy, Theoretical Computer Science

 

My Research has been generously supported by NSF, DARPA, Department of Energy NETL, JP Morgan, Cisco, PNC, Ripple, DoS Networks, and various Cylab initiatives.
