I’m a first-year PhD student at the Georgia Tech School of Cybersecurity and Privacy, where I’m working with Dr Mike Specter. My research interests include applied cryptography, systems security, and software security. I’m especially interested in privacy-enhancing technologies and other aspects of computer security relevant to public policy.

I graduated from Rice University in May 2024 as a Computer Science major. In the past, I’ve been fortunate to work with Dr Marcel Böhme at MPI-SP, as well as Dr Dan Wallach at Rice.

Causes that are important to me include software freedom, digital privacy and anonymity, freedom of speech, consumer rights, and data preservation.

Outside of breaking computers, I also enjoy speedcubing, participating in CTFs, playing chess, learning languages, and collecting coins.
