I am a senior at BYU studying Mathematics and Computer Science.

I’m interested in both theoretical and applied post-quantum cryptography. Currently I am evaluating Utah’s new State-Endorsed Digital Identity (SEDI) framework from a cryptography and privacy perspective, under the supervision of Kent Seamons.

Previously, I was a research intern at Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy (MPI-SP) in cryptographic engineering, supervised by Peter Schwabe. I worked on evaluating ML-KEM at (much) higher security levels.

My mathematical interests mainly lie in algebraic number theory, lattices, computational algebra, and commutative algebra, with applications to cryptography. My most recent project involved constructing monogenic fields of cryptographic size via a palindromic polynomial transformation; we are currently preparing a manuscript. My first math paper is available here.

Note: I go by Sia, while Swechchha is my legal name and appears in all my works.
