About

I am an Assistant Teaching Professor in the department of Computer Science at Purdue University working in systems security. My primary research focus has been on enhancing the security and privacy of interconnected systems. My work spans multiple domains, including mobile systems, wearable devices, and Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs). Specifically, I aim to address challenges in securing modern technological ecosystems by uncovering vulnerabilities, proposing mitigation strategies, and developing tools that promote secure and privacy-preserving operations
