Mahak Pancholi

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the IMDEA Software Institute in Madrid, Spain. I am hosted by Dario Fiore. Previously, I was a PhD student in Crypto Group at Aarhus University, Denmark, where I was supervised by Claudio Orlandi.
My research focuses on studying various aspects of Zero-Knowlege Proof Systems. Some of the topics I am interested in includes studying efficiency guarantees of Zero-Knowledge Proof Systems, and analysing advance security properties such as non-malleability and universal composability.
In 2020, I received an MTech in Computer Science from Indian Institue of Science (IISc), Bangalore. I was a part of CrIS lab at IISc and worked with Arpita Patra towards my Master’s Thesis titled '’A Robust PPML Framework for Three Servers’’.
