Sanketh Menda

Hello! 👋

I am a PhD student in Computer Science at Cornell, broadly interested in computer security and privacy.

Outside of research, I contribute to ResistFingerprinting/Tor Browser.

Previously, I was an undergraduate student in Computer Science at Waterloo, where I spent a bunch of time hanging out at the Institute for Quantum Computing, some of it officially, where I drank a lot of espresso and learnt a little quantum computing.
