Aditya Ranjan Jha is a first-year PhD student at the School of Computing, National University of Singapore, advised by Professor Prateek Saxena. He is currently interested in secure architectures.

Before joining the PhD program, he had the opportunity to work in embedded systems, high-performance computing, system security, and microarchitectural security—all of which continue to interest him and have shaped his current research focus.

A large part of his professional growth stems from his time at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, where he made great friends and met inspiring individuals during his undergraduate studies.

One of his favorite quotes, “Once you stop learning, you start dying” – Albert Einstein, defines his current professional phase. He believes in being in a constant state of learning, embracing the idea that he is “yet a master of none.”
