Sourav Thakur

I am a researcher with an interest in computer architecture, RISC-V processor design, and hardware acceleration for post-quantum cryptography. My current research focuses on developing lightweight custom RISC-V instruction extensions to accelerate polynomial multiplication in lattice-based cryptographic algorithms, particularly CRYSTALS-Kyber and CRYSTALS-Dilithium.

My work explores instruction-level optimization, efficient modular arithmetic, and hardware-software co-design to improve computational performance while maintaining low hardware overhead. I am particularly interested in designing efficient, secure, and resource-conscious architectures for post-quantum cryptographic applications.
