Bio

I’m a CS PhD student at the University of Texas at Austin, advised by Prof. Hovav Shacham. My research interests are broadly in designing secure and performant compilers, systems, and hardware. Recently, I’ve been exploring ways to build secure browser JITs, utilizing sandboxing and verification.
