I completed my Ph.D., Computer Science, at the Cornell University. My thesis work was titled Privacy in Data Publishing, and I was guided by Prof. Johannes Gehrke. I had the opportunity to publish several papers, co authoring with my guide, in Journals, Conferences, Workshop, Posters and Demos.

ratingSelection process and gaining admission

I got my visa quite easily and the selection process to the university was also quite easy. I had done my bachelors in Computer Science from the Indian Institute of Technology - Madras, Chennai, India.

ratingFunding and scholarships

I was awarded the Teaching Assistantship by the university.

ratingYour study experience

For my thesis I initiated a formal study of adversarial background knowledge expressed as propositional formulae and defined basic units of knowledge that can express any adversarial knowledge, and helped propose efficient algorithms to compute the ‘l’ basic units of knowledge that lead to the maximum disclosure of sensitive information from the published data. My areas of interest were in the fields of Data Privacy, and its relation to Web-Scale Data Management, and Cryptography.

ratingYour life experience

I had the opportunity to work in the Cornell Mentoring Program. I also worked as a Teaching Assistant at the university and was the Organizer of the Privacy Reading Group at the university. All these added up to give me a rich teaching experience. My stint as a Research Intern at SIGMOD 2008, IBM Almaden Research Labs and at my own university gave me invaluable expertise in my field.
