Rohit Chatterjee

profile

I'm a postdoctoral researcher in cryptography (Research Fellow is the official designation) at the School of Computing at National University of Singapore, advised by Prof. Prashant Nalini Vasudevan. I completed my graduate studies in cryptography at the Computer Science & Engineering Department at Stony Brook University, while advised by Prof. Omkant Pandey. I did my undergraduate and masters degrees (majoring in mathematics) at the Indian Institute of Science, being mentored by Prof. Bhavana Kanukurthi and Prof. Himanshu Tyagi.

I am broadly interested in several aspects of theoretical cryptography and their underpinnings to theoretical computer science. I am most familiar with work relating to black-box interactive proofs, MPC, and their concurrent variants, extending to protocol design for other primitives, and related notions such as non-malleability. Recently I have been interested in two broad directions: (1) Cryptography involving lattices, and post-quantum notions of security. (2) Notions of cryptographic hardness and their connections to complexity theory, and also their `direct' use in constructions of cryptographic primitives.

Here is a (somewhat updated) copy of my CV.
