I was a Ph.D. candidate in the Computer Science & Engineering Department at Washington University in St. Louis between 2018 and 2021, advised by Professor Yevgeniy Vorobeychik. My research interests are machine learning (ML) and computer security. Specifically, I am interested in both ML for security applications and security of ML models themselves.
