Nikhil C. Email & Phone Number

Hello, my name is Nikhil. I am a freshman at Purdue University. I am currently majoring in Computer and Information Technology, although I am planning on switching to Cybersecurity. My interest in this field was sparked when I explored cryptography, privacy, and biometrics while working as a cybersecurity research intern at UT Dallas. Here, I also presented a critical analysis of a biometrics paper and suggested novel directions for future research. I am also a member of The Data Mine, specifically in the Entrepreneurship Cohort. I joined this living-learning community due to my strong interest in data science and statistics. Additionally, I am captivated by how entrepreneurship intersects with both cybersecurity and data science, and I am eager to explore these connections further.My future aspirations involve becoming a cybersecurity analyst. I am eager to explore the intricacies of this expanding field, contributing to ongoing advancements and actively working towards enhancing the security of digital systems.Aside from this, some of my hobbies include producing and listening to music, playing sports, spending time in nature, and reading.Please feel free to contact me with any inquiries at nikhiljchandra@gmail.com!
