I am a Ph.D. candidate in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), advised by Vyas Sekar, and am part of CyLab, CMU’s Security and Privacy Institute.
My research interests lie in the intersection of network security and computer networking. My research work currently focuses on network modeling, network verification, and uncovering security vulnerabilities in network protocols and devices. My research work has been recognized with the NSA Best Scientific Cybersecurity Paper Award and the CSAW Applied Security Research Prize.
Before starting at CMU in 2014, I earned bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Waterloo, Canada.
