Shweta Agrawal

I am a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California, Los Angeles. My research interests are in Cryptography and Information theory. I work with Professor Amit Sahai. I recently finished by Ph.D. from The University of Texas at Austin. During my graduate work, I was extremely fortunate to be guided by Professor Dan Boneh in Cryptography (during an extended visit to Stanford University) and Professor Sriram Vishwanath in Information Theory.
