About me

I am a first-year PhD student at the University of Chicago, where I am advised by Professor Grant Ho. My research focuses on the application of AI to security problems as well as the privacy and security of ML systems. Apart from this, I am also interested in tech policy and the evolving privacy and security implications of generative AI.

I received my bachelor’s degree in Computer Science at Pomona College. During undergrad, I worked with Professor Anthony Clark in the ARCS Lab and completed a senior thesis on the defense of federated learning against evasion attacks with Professors Eleanor Birrell and Anthony Clark. Through cybersecurity and software engineering internships, I have built out ML-driven security solutions for sim-swap fraud detection and various mobile applications, including a social media platform for surfers called SurfStop.
