Mahesh Sreekumar Rajasree

I am an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Informatics, Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Mechanics, University of Warsaw. My research focuses on algorithms and cryptography.

Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security, hosted by Prof. Nico Döttling.

Before joining CISPA, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, where I worked with Prof. Venkata Koppula.

I completed my PhD (as a Prime Minister’s Research Fellow) and MTech degree under the guidance of Prof. Manindra Agrawal in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur. During that time, I was actively working on the cryptanalysis of symmetric-key cryptosystems and variants of the subset-sum problem.

I received my BTech in Computer Science and Engineering from the National Institute of Technology Calicut.

My Erdős number is 3 (Me -> Antoine Joux -> Andrew M. Odlyzko -> Paul Erdős).
