About

I am a computer security researcher with a focus on AI/ML security, offensive security, and secure systems. My work spans adversarial attacks in federated learning, memory poisoning in LLM-based agents, privacy in generative models, and applied security research in systems, IoT, and blockchain environments.

In addition to research, I have extensive teaching experience across undergraduate and graduate computer science courses, including systems programming and network security. I have designed labs and course materials, led teams of TAs and mentored students in both technical and research settings. My teaching has been recognized with multiple Best TA awards.
