I am an Assistant Professor in the department of Computer and Information Science here at Poly. I work in the areas of computer and network security, and applied cryptography.

I recently (in August 2006) obtained my Ph.D in Information and Computer Science from UC Irvine. I hold an M.S. in Computer Science from UC Santa Barbara, and a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics and Computing from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India.

In my free time (which I hardly get these days!), I like to do various things, including playing sports such as tennis (in fact, I have been looking for a partner to play with since I moved to New York), badminton, volleyball, racquetball; playing djembe; listening to music (and sometimes singing too). I love to travel and I hate to work out.
