📢 I will be joining the UMBC Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering as a tenure-track assistant professor in Fall 2026. If you are interested in collaborating, please reach out!
I am currently a postdoctoral research associate in the Software and Societal Systems Department in the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University, where I recently defended my Ph.D. (Fall 2025) in Societal Computing, advised by Lujo Bauer. I am a member of CyLab, the security and privacy institute at CMU.
My research interests are at the intersection of security, machine learning (ML), and cyber-physical systems. My Ph.D. thesis proposes ML-based techniques and guidelines for making anomaly-detection systems more effective at securing industrial control systems (ICS). This involves:
I finished my M.Sc. (2018) in Computer Science at the University of British Columbia, as a member of the Networks, Systems and Security (Systopia) Lab. I built systems for private and secure multi-party machine learning with Ivan Beschastnikh.
I finished my B.A.Sc. (2016) in Systems Design Engineering at the University of Waterloo, which included multiple internships spanning a variety of projects: from developing tools for bio-informatics research to building online machine-learning infrastructure at LinkedIn.
I also help maintain the Security and Privacy Conference Deadlines webpage.
