I'm an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Duke University. Before joining Duke in Fall 2021, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the VMware Research Group. I received my PhD in Computer Science from University of Maryland, advised by Bobby Bhattacharjee.

I enjoy working broadly at the intersection of systems, networking, and security. My current research focuses around trusted hardware in two ways: 1) building secure and privacy-preserving systems for various application domains, 2) introducing new abstractions and tools for building secure systems. Beyond this area of research, I have a number of other current projects on topics ranging from systems support for machine learning to security threat analytics.

I'm always looking for interested students. Look here for how to get in touch with me.
