I'm a Ph.D. candidate in theoretical computer science at Boston University, under the excellent supervision of Ran Canetti. For the spring semester of 2023, I'm visiting the Simons Institute for the theory of computing at UC Berkeley, where I'll be a full time participant of the meta-complexity program.


- I research algorithmic and complexity-theoretic aspects of computational learning and cryptography.
- I am especially interested in formalizing relationships (equivalences, dichotomies, synergies etc.) between constructions from these areas.
- Recently, I have taken interest also in meta-complexity, and security and responsibility issues in machine learning and AI.
