About Me

I am a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I am advised by Prof. Patrick McDaniel in the Madison Security and Privacy Research Group. Prior to beginning my graduate studies, I received bachelor's degrees in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, and Mathematics from Central Michigan University.

My current research focuses on the security of multi-agent systems. My research interests also include:

  • Trustworthy artificial intelligence
  • Adversarial machine learning
  • Cybersecurity

I am grateful to be supported as a NSF GRFP fellow.
