About Me

I am a PhD student with the VUSec group at VU Amsterdam. My research interests span systems security, operating systems, program analysis, and microarchitectural attacks.

Previously, I did my MS at UC San Diego, where I worked with the security group. Before that, I did my BS at the University of Arizona, where I worked on the Lynx Project.
