About me
I'm a Ph.D. candidate in the Computer Sciences Department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a research assistant in the Security & Privacy Research Group, advised by Prof. Patrick McDaniel. I am also fortunate to be a recipient of the MIT Rising Star Award.
My research is centered around evaluating and advancing the trustworthiness of AI/ML systems. I am specifically interested in investigating functional differences between machine learning models and biological systems (e.g., the human visual system), and how these differences play a role in the robustness and resiliency of models. In other words, I look at how humans and machine learning models see the world differently, and how differences in the kinds of features they focus on can impact their performance and security. I am broadly interested in topics in computer security and AI/ML.
In my free time, I enjoy reading (especially fantasy)📚, cooking (and going to restaurants)🍳, golfing (when Wisconsin weather permits)⛳️, and social dancing (particularly swing)💃!
