Prateek Mittal

*Degrees: *

• Ph.D., University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2012
• M.S., University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2010
• B.Tech., Indian Institute of Technology, 2006

I am broadly interested in privacy-preserving and secure systems. My current focus areas include projects in:

• Security and Machine Learning
• Privacy and Machine Learning
• Privacy, Security, and Networked Systems

My research draws on techniques from data science, network science, distributed systems, and applied cryptography. My work has influenced the design of widely-used systems such as the Tor network for anonymous communication, and the Let's Encrypt Certificate Authority.
