I am a Ph.D. student in the School of Computing at the National University of Singapore (NUS). I’m working with Prateek Saxena as my advisor in the KISP Lab. I’m working on the Machine Learning and Algorithms for Practical Security (MAPS) project.

Previously, I earned my bachelor’s degree as a Computer Science and Math major from Reed College, USA. My thesis was on Differential Privacy and Neural Networks.
