Aditya Hegde

I鈥檓 currently a PhD student at Johns Hopkins University, advised by Abhishek Jain and Matthew Green.

I’m interested in both theoretical and practical aspects of cryptography. I’m especially drawn to concrete problems that motivate clean theoretical models and new techniques, with the long-term goal of bringing those ideas back to practice.

In summer 2026, I interned at NTT Research with Elette Boyle. Previously, I visited the Simons Institute in summer 2025 and interned at IRIF with Geoffroy Couteau in summer 2024. I graduated from IIIT Bangalore in 2021, where I was advised by Ashish Choudhury.
