I am pursuing my Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Waterloo advised by N. Asokan. I have received a distinguished paper award at IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy (2024). My PhD research is supported by Cybersecurity and Privacy Institute Excellence Graduate Scholarship (2024), and David R. Cheriton Graduate Scholarship (2024). I completed my masters from UWaterloo and my undergraduate from IIIT-Delhi (India) where I received the Dean's Award for Innovation, Research and Development for my research on fault tolerant neural networks.
Research: I study risks to security, privacy, fairness, and transparency in machine learning, and defenses to counter them. I am interested in studying the interactions among various defenses and risks and ensuring accountability in machine learning pipelines for regulatory compliance.
Meeting Availability: Send an invite to my email (above) for an empty slot in my calendar (use ``week'' view for ease).
