Biography

Hi, I am a fifth-year PhD student in the Decentralized/Distributed Systems lab at advised by Prof. Bryan Ford. My research interests revolve around the topics in System and Network Security, Privacy, Distributed Systems, and Smart Contracts. I am currently focused on improving security of software-update systems, reducing metadata leakage from encrypted data formats, and building a secure peer-to-peer collaboration platform.
