Brief Bio: Since 2017 I have been a Professor in the Department of Computer Science & Automation at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. From 2007 to 2017, I was a faculty member in the Department of Computer Science at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. In 2007, I earned a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and in 2001 a B.Tech. in Computer Science & Engineering from IIT Bombay.

Work: The primary focus of my research is computer security. At IISc, I direct the Computer Systems Security Laboratory. My research projects have considered security and privacy issues in a broad spectrum of computer systems, from cloud platforms through Web browsers to mobile devices. I have wide-ranging interests, and my projects usually draw on ideas and methods developed in a variety of areas, such as applied cryptography, program analysis, formal methods, machine intelligence, and hardware architecture. Please consult my publications for details. I usually teach courses in computer systems and security. I have made the lecture videos from my security course freely available.
