about

Hello 👋, my name is Anjan Roy and I am a Computer Programmer, living in UAE, originally from India. In 2018, after completing my under-graduate in Computer Science, I started practising software development while continuing post-graduate study in Computer Science. In 2020, after earning M.Sc. in Computer Science, I moved to industry full-time.

I'm working as an Engineer in the Explorations Team of the Avail Project. I'm also pursuing PhD in Applied Cryptography @ Digital Security (DiS) Group of Radboud University.

I'm an avid user of open-source software. Naturally, I write and maintain some open-source projects. See my Github profile.

education

I did my B.Sc. & M.Sc. in Computer Science from Dept. of Computer & System Sciences, Visva-Bharati, Santiniketan, India. I've started pursuing a PhD in Applied Cryptography from the Radboud University, Nijmegen, The Netherlands. I'm being supervised by Prof. Joan Daemen and co-supervised by Dr. Gilles Van Assche. During my PhD, I'll be studying design and implementation of both symmetric-key and post-quantum cryptography. I plan to focus on modernizing the state of the symmetric key cryptography.

hobby

I regularly go for bicycling. I watch movies and tv series. I read books. I spend time maintaining and developing some of my side projects on Github.
