I am a Tenure-Track Faculty at CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security. My research aims to improve individuals’ digital privacy by designing efficient solutions for privacy-preserving computations and communications.

I received my Ph.D. from University of Waterloo, where I was a part of the Cryptography, Security, and Privacy (CrySP) group and fortunate to be supervised by Ian Goldberg. Prior to that, I completed my Master’s under the supervision of Sergey Gorbunov. I spent two wonderful terms over the course of my Ph.D. as a research intern with Microsoft Research Cambridge under the supervision of Andrew Paverd (Spring 2022) and Olya Ohrimenko (Winter 2019).

I am Hiring! I am currently seeking motivated students interested in pursuing a Ph.D. I also have openings for Postdocs and Research Interns in my group.

If you are excited about working on cutting-edge privacy enhancing technologies, please drop me an email with your CV and interests.

My current research areas include:

• Privacy-preserving computations
• Oblivious RAM (ORAMs)
• Oblivious data structures and algorithms
• Privacy-preserving machine learning
• Privacy-preserving databases
• Privacy-preserving communications
• Anonymous communications systems
• Metadata-protected communications systems
• Differential privacy
• Zero-knowledge proof systems

I’m always happy to collaborate on or discuss exciting research in any of these areas. The easiest way to get in touch with me is via email.

My Erdős number is 3 (Paul Erdős -> Doug Stinson -> Ian Goldberg -> Sajin Sasy).
