Hi! I am Archisman, and I am a first-year PhD student at Aarhus University, jointly advised by Peter Scholl and Diego Aranha. Previously, I was a pre-doctoral researcher at Trust Lab in IIT Bombay, hosted by Chethan Kamath and Sruthi Sekar. I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and Computer Science from Ashoka University, where I worked with Debayan Gupta.

My research interests are in theoretical and practical aspects of cryptography, specifically proof systems and multi-party computation. More broadly, I am interested in the design and analysis of efficient algorithms with strong privacy and security guarantees.

In my free time, I enjoy reading speculative fiction, singing Rabindra Sangeet and tinkering with Gentoo.
