Biography

I joined HP Labs India in March 2008. I am working on a novel concept called Secure Print Workflows, which is a part of the HPL Project Paper in the Digital Enterprise. Prior to joining HP Labs, I undertook industrial research for novel and secure industrial control systems and high-speed telecommunication systems.

My PhD thesis work was titled, "Compliant Cryptology Protocols" and undertaken at the Information Security Institute of QUT between 1998 and 2001. In addition, I hold Graduate Diploma in Information Technology and Bachelor of Engineering (Electronics and Communication) degrees.
