Bio

I am a postdoctoral associate in the Department of Computer Science at Boston University. I am a member of the Data-intensive Systems and Computing (DiSC) lab, lead by Prof. Manos Athanassoulis.

I work at the intersection of designing data layouts and access methods for storage engines and developing systems-level solutions for privacy protection in modern data systems. The goal of my research is to design efficient privacy-aware data systems by navigating the privacy-performance tradeoff and designing privacy-aware data structures and algorithms that supports privacy by design. My present research interests span data systems, storage layouts, access methods, and their intersection with data privacy.

Before joining BU, I was a postdoctoral researcher at INRIA, Rennes (France) with Dr. Christine Morin (2017-2018). I completed my PhD from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur (2017). My doctoral research was focused on minimizing communication latency in wireless sensor networks, designed specifically for healthcare solutions. During this time, I also gained expertise in the area of fog/edge computing, cloud computing, and the Internet of things.

I love doing research that has direct societal impact. Outside of work, I love outdoor sports, board games, food, and travelling.
