Hi
I am applying for a Masters/PhD in Computer Science for Fall 17.
I will be applying for MS in CS to most universities, only in a few universities will I be applying for PhD.
I will be specializing in cryptography.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Name : Varun Rajeev
College : BITS Pilani, Pilani Campus
Branch : CSE
Field of Interest : Cryptography
Degree Goal : MS/PhD
GPA : 7.33/10
GRE : 327 (170/157/4.0)
TOEFL : 110
--------------------------------------------------------------
Internships :
1) Center for Development of Imaging Technology (C-DIT) -- 2 months
Worked with a research scientist there and published a paper on designing digital signatures for paper documents. Published in Discovery Journal (Not very good quality)
2) Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai -- 1 month
Completed a summer program in Theoretical Computer Science
3) Ericsson R&D, Bangalore -- 6 months
Worked with Research team at Ericsson and worked on disk storage and its efficiency (Wont add much to crypto profile).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Submitted or Accepted papers :
1) Invited paper to ICMC 2017 (conference paper)
2) Another underway
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Projects :
Completed 3 in college, all in the field of crypto, 2 of which have been converted to papers as mentioned above.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Work Ex :
Edgeverve Systems Ltd. , Bangalore -- 4 months and counting
Working with the Research team as a product engineer. Working with Javascript etc. Currently on the web application security team (Might add a bit to profile, but far far away from theoretical crypto)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recommendations :
1) Asst Prof in college -- strong
2) Asst Prof in college -- strong
3) will have to ask either current manager or mentor at IMSc (which one would you suggest)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tentative Universities :
University of California, San Diego
University of Texas, Austin (Will apply for PhD)
University of North Carolina, Charlotte,
University of Washington,(Direct PhD, they do not have a terminal MS)
North Carolina State University
Georgia Tech
University of Maryland, College Park
University Of Michigan , Ann Arbor
It'll be awesome if someone could judge my profile and tell me my chances on the above mentioned universities. Also suggestions to more universities would be welcome if they are relevant to cryptography.
Tagging people I could find in security :
