About Me

NEWS: I will be presenting my paper on the impact of equal-cost multi-path routing on global censorship measurement @ CCS Security 2024


Hello! I am a CS PhD student at the School of Cybersecurity & Privacy in Georgia Tech working with Dr. Paul Pearce. Before that, I was a Software Engineer at GrammaTech Inc, in Ithaca, NY, where I was a part of the CodeSonar static analysis team. My work focused on statistical/ML model based API usage anomaly detection using CodeSonar. In the past I was part of the team which added Objective-C support to CodeSonar using the clang frontend (more on that here - CodeSonar Enters the World of iOS and Objective-C ). I completed my Master's degree at Syracuse University in 2016, with a thesis ` Automated code extraction from packed android applications` under the advisement of Dr. Heng Yin.

Research Interests

My main research interests lie in the intersection of network security and measurement.
