Broadly, I'm interested in guaranteed privacy, algorithms, and cryptography, but I really like theoretical math too.
Feel free to cold email me at [first letter][last name]+hi@[university’s domain], the +hi tag at the end makes sure it won't get filtered and I'll see it :). I usually respond to emails in a day or so during working days.
