About Me

Hey! I’m Sanath.

I’m a Master’s student in Computer Science at Northeastern University, where I work with Professor Zhengzhong Jin in the NEUCrypt Cryptography and Privacy Group. My research focuses on lattice-based cryptographic proof systems and their applications to verifiable computation.

Before grad school, I spent two years as a Cloud Developer at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, building out Kubernetes-based infrastructure, zero-trust identity systems, and AI deployment pipelines. And before that, I studied electronics and communication engineering, which is where I first got into things like FFTs, hardware acceleration, and number theory.

If you’re interested in working together or just want to talk crypto, distributed systems, or anything in between, feel free to reach out at my mail. You can see what I’m working on over at the projects page.

Research Interests

Current Focus:

• Lattice-based cryptographic proof systems, folding schemes, and their connections to verifiable computation.
• Post-quantum cryptography and its integration into real-world protocols and infrastructure.

Previous Work:

• Microarchitectural optimizations and CPU pipeline analysis at IIT Dharwad under Prof. Rajshekar K.
• Hardware acceleration of convolutional networks on FPGAs (VLSID 2023).

What I’m Working Toward:

• Turning post-quantum cryptographic theory into deployable systems-level guarantees, bridging the gap between lattice-based constructions and the infrastructure they’ll eventually need to run on.
