Ashrujit Ghoshal

I am a faculty member in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras. I am interested in various aspects of foundations of computer science with an emphasis on cryptography. A central theme in my research are theoretical problems motivated by practical applications of cryptography. I am also broadly interested in the foundations of cryptography, and the design and analysis of cryptographic protocols.

Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Carnegie Mellon University advised by Elaine Shi. I received my PhD in Computer Science from the University of Washington, advised by Stefano Tessaro and Rachel Lin. Even earlier, I graduated from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur with a Bachelor of Technology (Hons.) in Computer Science and Engineering and was advised by Debdeep Mukhopadhyay for my undergraduate thesis.

I am looking for motivated M.S./Ph.D. students. Feel free to write to me if you are interested.
