I have graduated from Princeton. Please visit my new homepage.

The kerosene lamp above is not meant to suggest that I find my work too dreary :) But rather it is suggestive of the quality of lighting in the university housing.

I'm finishing my PhD at the Computer Science department, here at Princeton University. I'll be joining the Computer Science department at University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign this Fall.

I'm interested in Theoretical Computer Science, including topics from Cryptography, Coding theory and Complexity theory.
