I was born in Atlanta, GA and grew up for the most part in Phoenix, AZ as well as San Diego, CA. Now I reside in Salt Lake City, UT where I perform exciting cryptographic research surrounding zero-knowledge proof systems.

About Me

I am a PhD student at the Univeristy of Utah’s Kahlert School of Computing. I am fortunate to be advised by Pratik Soni.


As a computer scientist and mathematician, my research touches both theoretical and applied computer science.


Currently, I study zero-knowledge proof systems, (i.e. SNARKs) and attempt to make them more time and space efficient in terms of prover overhead while maintaining reasonable verification demands, especially where our primitives can be post-quantum. Generally, I am interested in developing efficient privacy preserving systems to accomodate an internet which can be decentralized and trustless.
