DrSri AravindaKrishnan Thyagarajan

Aravind’s research sits at the intersection of cryptography, decentralisation, and automation. He likes to ask: “How can we let many mutually suspicious parties transact, compute, and coordinate—securely, privately, and fairly?”

He works on:

• Decentralised systems and blockchains – making ledgers that can be trusted without trusting any single party.

• Cryptocurrencies and digital payments – designing protocols that keep transactions private while still auditable and secure.

• Fairness in multi-party computation – ensuring no one can cheat, abort, or walk away with an unfair advantage.

• Post-quantum cryptography – building schemes that stay secure even in the presence of quantum computers.
