Harish Karthikeyan

I am currently a Research Scientist with JP Morgan AI Research and JP Morgan AlgoCrypt Center of Excellence. Before joining JP Morgan, I completed my Ph.D. in 2022, advised by Yevgeniy Dodis. My thesis was titled "Cryptography: From Practice to Theory".

I was also a Summer Associate at J.P. Morgan AI Research, working with Antigoni Polychroniadou on privacy-preserving consensus. Previously, I obtained my Master of Science in Computer Science from Columbia University in the City of New York where I worked with Allison Bishop. Prior to that, I wrapped up my B. Tech (First Class with Distinction) in Computer Science and Engineering at NIT Trichy where I was advised by Kunwar Singh.

This was based on a project advised by C Pandu Rangan. I also interned with Amazon in Seattle with their Zeitgeist aka Bestseller team during the Summer of 2016 where I worked on creating a Trending algorithm using Machine Learning for Amazon's consumption data.
