Hello! I am Naman (he/him), a Computer Science PhD student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. With advise from Prof. Rahul Chatterjee, I critically examine digital safety through inter-disciplinary critical and decolonial lenses to examine technology-facilitated gender-based violence. Specifically, I analyze the barriers faced by historically marginalized communities who face gender-based violence to seek suppport, heal, and build resilience. Further, I coordinate Madison Tech Clinic and lead the outreach program with our rural and indigenous partner organizations in Wisconsin, USA.
Prior to PhD, I was a Research Fellow at Microsoft Research, advised by Kapil Vaswani at Confidential Computing and Technology for Empowerment group. I worked on a formally verified boot protocol, a hardware-backed Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) and an offline streaming platform for low-income and people with a reduced tech literacy in rural India.
I graduated from IIIT-Delhi with a Bachelors in Computer Science where I was advised by Prof. Vinayak Naik and Prof. Sachit Butail.
