Deepika Natarajan

I am currently a Research Associate at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Previously, I was a PhD student in the Computer Science and Engineering department at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where I was advised by Professor Ron Dreslinki. My research interests include privacy and security, including secure and private computation and privacy-preserving machine learning. Prior to working in these areas, I completed by undergraduate and masters degrees in Computer Engineering at the University of Michigan.

My current research seeks to enable practical deployments of privacy-preserving technologies. By improving the performance of privacy-preserving techniques, I hope to make secure and private computation possible for more devices and scenarios. My work on SEAL-Embedded, for example, enables developers to utilize homomorphic encryption on constrained embedded devices in an efficient manner.

I am currently looking for a full-time position in industry. If you know of a position for which I may be a good fit, please contact me at dnataraj@umich.edu.
