I am a first year PhD student at Northeastern University, advised by Professors Alina Oprea and Stavros Tripakis as a part of the NDS2 lab. My work focuses on reinforcement learning in cybersecurity and game theory, as well as verifiable AI systems. I additionally study adversarial machine learning and have background in cloud platforms software, distributed postgres databases, and mobile app development. Check out the Khoury News article about my recent paper award!
Apart from research interests I do crossword puzzles, run, perform regularly with ImprovBoston's All Access Improv cast, and produce and perform in the math-themed improv show Office Hours with Jake and Lisa. I am also a co-organizer of the Khoury College PhD Women Group.
