Dhiraj Holden

I am a graduate student in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT in the Theory of Computation Group under the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). I am currently advised by Shafi Goldwasser.

Research Interests: My main research focus currently is on interactive proofs and applications to various areas of theoretical computer science. Interactive proofs have a wide variety of connections to problems in computational complexity theory, cryptography, and quantum computing.
