Hello there! Welcome to my website.
Currently, I am working towards my PhD at University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC). I am advised by Prof. Owen Arden and Prof. Ioannis Demertzis. My research lies in the intersection of security in distributed systems, language-based security, and applied cryptography. I also have experience with Encrypted search, Compiler Design, Program Analysis, Blockchain Technologies, and Formal Verification techniques in Coq. I work closely with the people from Language, Systems, and Data Lab (LSD), and Security Research Lab (SRL). At UCSC, I am a member of Women in Cyber Security and Women in Science and Engineering, advocating for diversity and excellence in science and technology. Before joining UCSC, I worked as a software engineer for the Networking & Cloud team at Citrix R&D, Bangalore, for two years. Prior to that, I acquired a master's degree from the esteemed IISc, Bangalore, where I worked with Prof. Aditya Kanade in the Software Engineering and Analysis Lab, developing an automated bug detection tool for Android applications. I am also a proud alumna of IIEST, Shibpur, where I did my undergraduate studies; during this time, I had the opportunity to work as a summer intern at Nomura Research Institute, Kolkata.
Through my work, I strive to make Distributed Systems fault-tolerant, secure, and efficient. Feel free to connect with me as I explore the world of Distributed Systems.
