Bio

I am a PhD student in Computer Science at New York University, advised by Justin Cappos, working on system security and software supply chain security. I received my Master's degree in Cybersecurity from New York University in 2024, and received my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Pennsylvania State University in 2021.

Research

My current research lies in system security and software supply chain security, with a focus on building trustworthy system infrastructures that minimize trust assumptions across the software stack. My interests span secure compilation, runtime isolation, and operating systems, with particular emphasis on mitigating software supply chain threats and improving the verifiability and transparency of system behavior.
