I am a PhD student at Univeristy of California, Santa Barbara in the Computer Security Lab advised by Giovannia Vigna and Christopher Kruegel. I am interested in systems security, binary analysis, root causing, ML applications in security. Previously, I worked on ARM TrustZone security, rehosting, and OS security. If you are interested, send me an email, I am happy to talk!

Before starting the PhD, I did a Bachelor’s at FAU. I wrote my thesis on rehosting bootloaders of COTS mobile devices.
