My research interests broadly lie in security and privacy---particularly in the context of decentralized trust. I'm physically based in NYC, at Cornell Tech.
I spent my undergraduate time at the AMPLab/RISELab building scalable distributed systems grounded in theoretical foundations, with a focus on applications in machine learning.
