Activities

I take an active interest in mentoring undergraduate and graduate students in research areas of my interest. I also love to deliver talks and workshops to make technology accessible to diverse interest groups and audiences. Time and again, I participate in professional services as an active member of the global academic community, and consult industry partners on problems of mutual interest. Occassionally, I write code to help me teach and learn.

You may check out my professional profile on LinkedIn for more details reagrding my latest activities. You will also find some of the code I have written on my github profile.

Books and Monographs

I have authored two books. The first is a monograph from my MMath Thesis, and the second is a book on Mathematical Olympiads written based on my training sessions in India. I have also co-edited the Proceedings for the 20th International Conference on Cryptology in India, 2019.
