Brief Bio

I am a West coaster, born in Richland, WA (U.S. citizen, native English speaker), that happens to reside on the East coast. I grew up in Connecticut and I received my bachelors in electrical engineering in 2013, my masters in electrical engineering in 2016 and my masters in computer science in 2017, all from the University of Connecticut. I completed my PhD in computer science (with a focus on adversarial machine learning) in 2021. I am currently serving as an Assistant Professor in Residence (APIR) in the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) department at the University of Connecticut and also as an Assistant Research Professor (ARP) in the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) department.
