Hi! I am a PhD candidate in Computer Science at Princeton University advised by Professor Amit Levy. My interests are in cloud systems and my thesis work is on a new architecture for securing cloud applications. We managed to deploy our system and an auto-grader application for a few classes at our institution!

I also had the opportunity to intern at Microsoft Research, Redmond the summer of 2023. We worked on securing cloud applications (mainly cloud-based large model training) at the network traffic pattern level. I was advised by Marcus Peinado, Sangho Lee and Paul England.

Before coming to Princeton, I obtained my Bachelor’s at University of Michigan and worked with Professor Mosharaf Chowdhury on remote direct memory access (RDMA). The summer before my PhD, I had the opportunity to intern at Pure Storage.
