I am a first-year PhD student in the ECE department at UCLA
advised by Liz Izhikevich.
My research focuses on creating a more secure and performant Internet.
I am broadly interested in Internet scanning and building systems to understand
global performance over LEO satellite networks.
Previously I graduated from Stanford University with my Master’s in Computer Science
and from UCSD with my Bachelor’s in Mathematics-Computer Science.
