About Me
Biography
I am a Ph.D. scholar in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, supervised by Dr. Debapriya Basu Roy. I am a recipient of the Prime Minister's Research Fellowship (PMRF) doctoral fellowship.
My research lies at the intersection of Hardware Accelerator Design and Hardware Security. I design efficient and resilient hardware implementations of Post-Quantum Cryptographic (PQC) algorithms and Physically Unclonable Functions (PUFs), and develop security protocols for embedded and FPGA-based platforms.

Hardware Security
I completed my M.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering from the University of Kalyani, supervised by Dr. Anirban Mukhopadhyay and Dr. Sujoy Chatterjee. Prior to IIT Kanpur, I served as a Junior Research Fellow (JRF) at NIT Durgapur under Dr. Bibhash Sen on secure lightweight FPGA architectures for PUF.
