Welcome!   I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Cornell University, advised by Prof. Vitaly Shmatikov. My research focuses on the security and privacy aspects of machine learning. Previously, I graduated from University of Virginia with a B.A. in Computer Science, where I was very fortunate to work with Prof. Yuan Tian and Prof. David Evans.
