Masters Student at UNC Chapel Hill

I’m a Masters student in the Computer Science department at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. My current research area is microarchitectural side-channel attacks, but I’m also interested in computer security more broadly. I am advised by Andrew Kwong.

I previously worked both in computer vision and in computational robotics with Roni Sengupta and Ron Alterovitz respectively. I did my Senior Thesis on a threshold moderation scheme with Saba Eskandarian.

In my free time, I enjoy long-distance running, cycling, and playing jazz piano.
