I'm an assistant professor of Computer and Information Science at UPenn, and I'm part of the Distributed Systems Laboratory, the Security Research Laboratory, and The Warren Center for Network and Data Sciences. I also run Penn's security reading group.

Prior to Penn, I was a visiting academic at NYU's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences and a Ph.D student in Computer Science at UT Austin where I was part of the Laboratory for Advanced Systems Research and was advised by Michael Walfish. I also spent time at Microsoft Research in the Cambridge, Redmond, and New York City labs.

I'm broadly interested in systems, security, privacy, and networking. My work aims to:
