I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the Georgia Institute of Technology's School of Cybersecurity and Privacy where I am advised by Prof. Joseph Jaeger. My interests include cryptography, information security, and generally, theoretical computer science. My most recent work focuses on analyzing the security of chat encryption in popular group messaging applications including MLS, Signal, and Matrix. I am a part of The Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM), an initiative that promotes women in mathematics.
Previously, I was an undergraduate student at NIT Calicut where I was introduced to information security and cryptography by Prof. Vinod Pathari.
