About
Hi, I'm Rojin, also known as Roshan. I finished my Bachelor of Information Technology at Kent Institute Australia in Sydney in March 2026, and I'm now doing a Master of Philosophy at Torrens University Australia in Adelaide, expected to finish in mid 2028.
Most of my day to day is web development. I work with React and Next.js on the frontend, Node and Express on the backend, and MongoDB or MySQL for data. I also maintain WordPress sites when that's the right fit.
On the research side, I'm first author of a 2026 preprint, with Sijan Dhakal and Asmita Gautam, that benchmarks NIST's post-quantum algorithms ML-KEM and ML-DSA on the RP2040 microcontroller. I plan to keep working in that area through my postgraduate studies.
Highlights
- First author of a 2026 arXiv preprint benchmarking the NIST post-quantum standards ML-KEM and ML-DSA on the RP2040, with the benchmark suite released as open source.
- Casual academic tutor at Flinders University, running workshops in software engineering fundamentals.
- Built and shipped web apps in TypeScript, Next.js, Node and MongoDB, including an open-source real-time queue system and an enrolment CRM.
- Three years in student support and website coordination, working directly with clients, education providers and compliance documentation.
- Master of Philosophy candidate at Torrens University Australia, after a Bachelor of Information Technology with a High Distinction capstone.

Preprint, revised August 2026
Benchmarking NIST-Standardised ML-KEM and ML-DSA on ARM Cortex-M0+: Latency, Rejection-Sampling Variance, and Memory on the RP2040
Rojin Chhetri, Sijan Dhakal, Asmita Gautam. arXiv:2603.19340 [cs.CR], 2026. DOI 10.48550/arXiv.2603.19340
Benchmarks of ML-KEM (FIPS 203) and ML-DSA (FIPS 204) on the Raspberry Pi Pico's RP2040, an ARM Cortex-M0+ at 125 MHz, across all six parameter sets using PQClean reference C. The paper reports latency, memory use and the timing variance introduced by ML-DSA's rejection sampling, and shows that a signature's rejection-sampling iteration count can be recovered from wall-clock time alone. The full benchmark suite is released as open source.
Keywords: post-quantum cryptography, ML-KEM, ML-DSA, ARM Cortex-M0+, RP2040, timing side channels
