Hi, Thank you for stumbling upon my portfolio! Here's what you would probably want to know about me.

I am a Doctoral Researcher at Trinty College Dublin and Bank of New York Mellon. My research focuses on leveraging Zero-Knowledge Proofs, Multi-Party Computation, Homomorphic Encryption, and Machine Learning to advance current trends in Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) and improve on recent Privacy-Preserving Machine Learning Algorithms. I hold an MSc. degree in AI and Machine Learning from Imperial College London.
