I received my BSc degree in Computer Science in 2018 from the University at Buffalo. I received MSc and PhD degrees in Computer Science from the University of Chicago in 2022 and 2025, respectively. 

I study usable security, with a particular focus on the interaction between AI/ML and personal/wearable devices. I investigate how advances in AI/ML and personal/wearable systems are challenging traditional security assumptions, and I adapt these techniques to design attacks and defenses in a variety of security contexts.

I publish at top security, human-computer interaction, and mobile computing conferences. My research has been recognized with Best Paper Awards and featured in various media outlets such as MIT Technology Review and New Scientist. I was named a Rising Star in EECS in 2024.
