I am currently working as a Research Intern at COSIC, KU Leuven, where I am pursuing my Master’s thesis. My primary focus lies in the areas of systems and privacy. For my Master’s thesis, my primary goal is to develop a privacy-preserving protocol with offline key management, based on the publish-subscribe model, specifically tailored for deployment in the Internet of Things (IoT) environment.
This research internship forms an integral part of my coursework at Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata, where I am currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Cryptology and Security. Prior to this, I gained valuable industry experience as a Software Engineer at Societe Generale, Bengaluru.
In 2020, I successfully earned a B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering from IIT Roorkee, which provided me with a solid foundation in engineering principles and critical thinking.
