I am an assistant professor at Dartmouth College. I earned my Ph.D. from Purdue University co-advised by Prof. Dave Tian and Prof. Byoungyoung Lee.

I am looking for motivated graduate students in systems and software security research. If you are interested in working with me, please drop me an email.
