Alishah Chator is an Assistant Professor at Baruch College and a researcher in privacy and applied cryptography with 12 years of experience spanning academia and industry. She completed a PhD-level research trajectory at Johns Hopkins under Matthew Green and continued as a postdoc at Boston University, focusing on practical cryptographic systems and privacy-preserving technologies. Her background includes hands-on engineering internships at Cloudflare, Facebook, and Duo Security where she built encryption services, internal investigation tools, and U2F integrations—experience that informs her pragmatic research-to-implementation approach. Based in Farmington, Michigan, she combines deep theoretical training in physics, mathematics, and computer science from the University of Michigan with production software experience in C++, Python, and web frameworks. Colleagues describe her as a researcher who intentionally bridges rigorous cryptographic theory and usable security engineering, often prioritizing deployable solutions over purely theoretical constructs.
