- PhD Student
I am a third-year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science and Technology at the University of Cambridge, where I am extremely fortunate to be under the supervision of Tom Gur. My research is in the area of theoretical computer science, and I am particularly interested in probabilisitic and zero-knowledge proof systems, coding theory, cryptography and complexity theory. More specifically, my PhD research has focused on the study of zero-knowledge proofs without any cryptographic assumptions.
My work was recently featured in Quanta Magazine: Computer Scientists Combine Two ‘Beautiful’ Proof Methods.
Themes
Teaching
I am very passionate about teaching and take great joy from my interactions with students.
I am a supervisor for Quantum Information and Computation, for Part II students and for Complexity Theory, for Part IB students.
In the past I have tutored courses in Quantum Computing, Analysis and PDEs. I also supervised first-year maths students at the University of Warwick, and worked as a tutor in a drop-in centre supporting undergraduates with maths in University College Dublin. I was nominated for a teaching and learning award while teaching at University College Dublin.
