I am a fifth-year computer science Ph.D. student at UC Berkeley where I am advised by Raluca Ada Popa and Ion Stoica. I also work closely with Henry Corrigan-Gibbs and David Mazières. I am broadly interested in building secure systems using cryptography. I'm also an organizer for the Berkeley DARE program, which aims to improve diversity in EECS by matching undergraduates with research opportunities. My work is supported by a Microsoft Ada Lovelace Research Fellowship and a NSF GRFP Fellowship.
I completed my B.S. and M.S. at Stanford University in computer science where I was advised by David Mazières and was also fortunate to work with Dan Boneh and Henry Corrigan-Gibbs.
