About

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Ropar.

Before joining IIT Ropar, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Computer Science at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), USA. Before that, I held a postdoctoral position at the Faculty of Engineering, Bar-Ilan University, Israel.

I received my PhD in Computer Science from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel, where I was advised by Prof. Shlomi Dolev. Earlier, I completed my Master's degree from TU Kaiserslautern, Germany, with my thesis work conducted at the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems, Kaiserslautern.
