Working on various theoretical problems including lower bounds for arithmetic circuits, robust generalized eigenspace finding, decomposition of polynomials etc.

Conducted a comprehensive study and security analysis of FALCON, a NIST finalist signature scheme. Prepared a thorough report of the mathematical structures and algorithms used in the lattice-based cryptographic constructions leading to FALCON.

Exposited the existing results relating the squared norm of a matrix to the squared norm of its real and imaginary parts for the class of Schatten p-norms. I also resolved a standing question in this subject for p in the interval (1, 2).
