Biography

I am a William T. Tutte Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Waterloo, hosted by Florian Kerschbaum. Prior to this, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Copenhagen, supported by the Providentia project and affiliated with Basic Algorithms Research Copenhagen (BARC), hosted by Rasmus Pagh. I completed my PhD at the University of Melbourne, advised by Anthony Wirth and Olga Ohrimenko.


Research Interests

My research focuses on sketching, graph, and differentially private algorithms, with an emphasis on designing practical solutions backed by rigorous mathematical guarantees. Currently, I am integrating differentially private algorithms with cryptographic security mechanisms to develop secure distributed systems.
