For more than a decade, I was a part of the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, one of the most complex, giant machines ever built, which accelerates subatomic particles like protons through 6.5 trillion volts and smashes them head-on. I sifted through the debris of these collisions to look for signs of new particles and unknown forces. I was a part of the data analysis team that discovered the Higgs boson particle in 2012

I recently switched gears and moved to the industry. I am currently working in an entirely different, yet equally exciting field of cryptography, more specifically, in the area of Fully Homomorphic Encryption, which allows directly computation on encrypted data
