I am a 3rd year PhD candidate in Computer Science at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor. My research interests lie in security, networks, and systems. I've also worked on OS kernel security from a LangSec approach.
Before joining UMich in 2023, I received my B.A. in Computer Science from Middlebury College.
