Intern Insights: Dr. Josh Benaloh with Anunay Kulshrestha and Karan Newatia
JOSH BENALOH: Welcome to Intern Insights, a Microsoft Research Podcast featuring brilliant students who are contributing to the research and advances at Microsoft as part of the renowned internship program at Microsoft Research.
[MUSIC FADES]
I’m Dr. Josh Benaloh, a senior cryptographer here at Microsoft Research, and I’m talking today with two of our finest interns: Anunay Kulshrestha and Karan Newatia, who are working with me on a project called ElectionGuard, a free, open-source toolkit that allows voters to check that their votes have been accurately counted.
So welcome, Anunay; welcome, Karan. I’m going to start by asking you to introduce yourselves and talk a little bit about your own background, where you’re from, your schooling, your graduate work—what’s going on there. So, Anunay, would you like to start?
