I'm an Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering at the City College of New York. I'm also an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the CUNY Graduate Center. I'm a cryptographer-in-denial who likes to build practical cryptographic systems that provide strong security and privacy guarantees for everyday applications. My research group is known as the Spacelab.

I received my PhD in computer science from Johns Hopkins University in 2023. Those interested can peruse my curriculum vitae (CV) or my dissertation.

Outside of the lab, you can find me trying my hand at photography and going on road trips.
