I am a second-year CS PhD student and CS MMath alumni at the University of Waterloo, co-supervised by Prof. N. Asokan and Prof. Meng Xu.

I got my B.S. degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, majoring in Computer Sciences (w/ honor) and Mathematics. My advisor is Prof. Earlence Fernandes, and I was a member of the Madison Security and Privacy (MadS&P). I also worked closely with Prof. Rahul Chatterjee.
