I am a Ph.D. student in the Computer Science and Engineering department at Michigan State University (MSU), working under the guidance of Prof. Anil K. Jain. I did my 5-year Integrated M.Tech. at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi. I am a member of the Biometrics Research Group at Pattern Recognition and Image Processing (PRIP) Laboratory at MSU. My research interests include Biometric Recognition, Information Theory and Machine Learning. Currently I am working on Biometric Cryptosystems and Biometric Template Protection schemes. My curriculum vitae is available here.
