I’m a second-year PhD student at the Georgia Tech School of Cybersecurity and Privacy, where I’m working with Dr Mike Specter in the SPDR lab. My current research focuses on age verification systems and digital identity. More generally, I’m interested in privacy-enhancing technologies and other aspects of computer security relevant to public policy.

If you’re interested in working with me, please send me an email! My CV is available on request.

I graduated from Rice University in May 2024 as a Computer Science major. In the past, I’ve been fortunate to work with Dr Marcel Böhme at MPI-SP, as well as Dr Dan Wallach at Rice.

I care deeply about software freedom, digital privacy and anonymity, freedom of speech, consumer rights, and data preservation.

I also enjoy speedcubing, participating in CTFs, playing chess, learning languages, collecting coins, and contributing to the commons. Recently, I’ve been trying to read more books.
