I am a Ph.D. student at UC Berkeley working under Prof. Natacha Crooks and Prof. John D. Kubiatowicz. My research interests are in Distributed Systems and Security. Before this, I graduated from IIT Kharagpur in 2022.

I have been working in the intersection of Byzantine Fault Tolerance and Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), trying to understand how to deal with rare but very possible compromises on TEEs.

Outside academics, I like playing guitar and occasionally dabble in poetry.
