Hi, I am Archie! I am a first-year PhD student in the Cryptography and Security group at Aarhus University, where I am fortunate to be advised by Peter Scholl and Diego F. Aranha. Before that, I was a predoctoral researcher at the Trust Lab, IIT Bombay. I completed a BSc in Mathematics and Computer Science at Ashoka University.
I am interested in the foundations of cryptography, and in theoretical computer science more broadly.
