Currently, I am a Pre-Doctoral Fellow in the SPARKS Program at the Indian Institute of Science(IISc) , working under Prof. Sanjit Chatterjee on developing a Quantum-Safe Hybrid TLS Protocol that combines classical and post-quantum cryptographic primitives for enhanced security.

Previously, I was Researcher and Developer @ DRDO(Defence Research and Development Organisation). My primary area of work includes the design and analysis of quantum-safe stream ciphers, block ciphers and cryptography algorithms. This involved translating mathematical algorithm into functional code, ensuring the implementation's efficiency, accuracy and security.

During my internship @ DRDO, I created a new quantum-secure cryptographic hash algorithm, "Collatz Hash: Cryptographic Hash Algorithm Using 3X+1 Conjecture". We explored the mathematical problems and computer science techniques to find use cases of the conjectures in cryptography. The one-way function based on the 3x+1 conjecture helps build a more secure hash function; currently, we believe it is quantum secure. We also explored other use cases of the Collatz hash, such as random number generation, digital signature and message authentication code, etc.

Moreover, I am a B.tech graduate in Computer Science, broadly interested in Design and Analysis of Algorithm, Cryptography, and Quantum Computing.

I have been recognized as the best researcher and paper publisher in the field of Computer Science and Cryptography at my college. My publications include 6 research papers, 3 review papers, and 1 book chapter. Additionally, I am a C++ and Python programmer who has solved over 700+ questions on various coding platforms. I am also familiar with the MERN stack and have created multiple websites.
