Postdoctoral Fellow
Email: akothapalli at berkeley dot edu
I am a postdoctoral fellow at University of California, Berkeley hosted by Sanjam Garg. I am a recent graduate of Carnegie Mellon University, where I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Science, advised by Professor Bryan Parno. Please refer to my thesis for a summary of my results. Previously, I was at the University of Illinois, where I earned my B.S. in Computer Science and B.S. in Mathematics.
I am primarily interested in cryptography, a collection of mathematical techniques that guarantee the privacy and integrity of digital information. My research focuses on designing zero-knowledge proofs, a powerful technique for proving the correctness of computations without revealing any secret inputs. Please refer to my Google Scholar profile for a full list of publications.
