Agni Datta is a computer science major at VIT Bhopal University in India with a minor in cybersecurity. He is a student member of ACM and SIAM. He was the co-founder as well as the first president of the SIAM student chapter at VIT Bhopal University. Furthermore, he is also a doctorate aspirant with preferences in cryptography, algorithmic number theory, and vulnerability evaluations of compilers and algorithms. His research concentrates on significant mathematical and theoretical problems such as fully homomorphic encryption, lattice-based cryptography, privacy-preserving algorithms, and social networking security. Early in his practice, he became interested in computational complexity and computability theory. Along with these interests, he also adores photography, old literature, classical music, and recreational athletics.
