About

I am currently a Software Engineer at Google.

I have recently (June 2017) received a Ph.D. in Computer Science from University of California, Davis where I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Sean Peisert. Throughout my program, I have also had the pleasure and honor of working with other Professors from the UC Davis Security Lab.

I am passionate about and interested in systems security as well as privacy concerns, particularly with new technologies. My thesis work explores the use of side channel information to perform non-intrusive monitoring of various systems in different settings. Throughout my years in graduate school, I have also done some work in various smartphone ecosystems (primarily Android) and have done some research in the realm of Internet of Things and Smart Connected Communities.
