Trinabh Gupta

Trinabh Gupta is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). Previously, he was a postdoctoral researcher at Microsoft Research Redmond. He holds a PhD from The University of Texas at Austin and a BTech from IIT Delhi. His research focuses on secure systems, privacy-preserving technologies, and applying cryptographic techniques to real-world systems.

Education: PhD in Computer Science (UT Austin, 2017); BTech in Computer Science and Engineering (IIT Delhi, 2009).

Research Interests: Building systems with strong security and privacy guarantees, including private information retrieval, federated learning, and cryptographic protocols. He emphasizes practical implementations, such as systems for secure media delivery and email privacy.

Teaching: Courses include CS170 (Operating Systems), CS178 (Cryptography), and CS293G (Advanced Topics in Computing on Encrypted Data). Courses emphasize hands-on labs and critical analysis of cryptographic systems.

Key Contributions: Developed systems like HADES, Coeus, and Addra, which apply theoretical constructs to real-world privacy challenges. His work spans secure distributed systems, federated learning, and oblivious data retrieval.
