About Me

I am a Research Engineer at Comcast, working on applied cybersecurity research. My work combines software and systems security, experimental testing, and prototype development to evaluate the security of networked systems and emerging technologies.

I earned my Ph.D. in Cybersecurity from Northeastern University, where I was advised by Professor Aanjhan Ranganathan. Previously, I conducted research at New York University Abu Dhabi with Professor Christina Pöpper.

My research examines the security of cellular networks and connected systems, including 4G and 5G protocols, over-the-air testing of commercial devices, legacy cellular services, NR sidelink and V2X communications, connected vehicles, eSIM infrastructure, emergency communications, and privacy side channels. More broadly, my interests include network and systems security, security evaluation of emerging technologies, AI security, and AI-assisted security engineering.

My research has appeared at USENIX Security, NDSS, ACSAC, ACM WiSec, and USENIX WOOT. My findings have been reported through GSMA coordinated vulnerability disclosure, and my research on 5G emergency alerts was cited in FCC Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 22-82. I am also a co-inventor on a published U.S. patent application for SMS-based location inference.

I received the Google PhD Fellowship in Security and Networking and hold the CISSP, SecurityX (formerly CASP+), and CySA+ certifications.

Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, basketball, and movies. I am an avid reader of history, philosophy, and fiction. I also enjoy writing, composing music (violin and piano), and learning new languages.
