I'm a 4th year PhD in the Laboratory for Advanced Systems Research, in the Department of Computer Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin. I am advised by Lorenzo Alvisi and frequently collaborate with Vitaly Shmatikov and Mike Dahlin.

I will be working in the Distributed Systems Research Group at Microsoft Research in Redmond this summer.

I previously worked for MIT Lincoln Laboratory and attended Carnegie Mellon University.
