Hello! I am a first-year Ph.D. student in the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University, where I am fortunate to be advised by Riccardo Paccagnella.

My interests lie within systems security. In particular, I am focusing on microarchitectural security research to discover how hardware behaviors can subvert software-defined security boundaries and induce unexpected software capabilities.

Previously, I did my undergrad in Computer Science at Oregon State University, where among many things I enjoyed hacking with OSUSEC. While at OSU, I worked with Liang Huang in the Algorithms for Computational Linguistics (ACL) Group.
