About Me

I am currently a Ph.D. student at the Georgia Institute of Technology, working with Prof. Taesoo Kim at the Systems Software & Security Lab. My research interests are in software and system security, and I am currently working on AI for vulnerability discovery and remediation.

Before starting my Ph.D., I graduated from the University of Waterloo with a Bachelor’s in Computer Science and was advised by Prof. Meng Xu.
