About Me
I am a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I am advised by Prof. Patrick McDaniel in the Madison Security and Privacy Research Group. My research focuses on AI security and multi-agent systems. My interests include trustworthy machine learning, adversarial AI, and cybersecurity. Prior to beginning my graduate studies, I received bachelor's degrees in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, and Mathematics from Central Michigan University.
