Abhishek Jain, an assistant professor of computer science, has been named a recipient of an NSF CAREER Award, which recognizes early-stage scholars with high levels of promise and excellence.

Jain focuses on all aspects of cryptography, with a special interest in secure computation, proof systems, and program obfuscation. His other research interests include security and privacy, as well as related areas of theoretical computer science.

His five-year CAREER Award will support his project, “New Frontiers in Computing on Private Data,” which will explore new methods to enable secure multi-party computation. The project also includes outreach activities to raise the Baltimore community’s awareness of security and cryptography.
