I’m a PhD candidate at CMU working with Prof. Nicolas Christin. I am also a research consultant at Microsoft Research, working with Madeleine Daepp.
I study how reputation in online platforms can be used to enable and amplify abuse. Through this work, I’ve also studied online cryptocurrency communities and how social media affects retail users’ financial decisions (e.g., investing). I have worked in a variety of topics within security: vulnerability reproduction, deep learning for binary analyses, anonymous communications, moving target defenses, usable security, and computer security from legal and organizational perspectives. I am a recipient of the Cylab Presidential Fellowship (2022-2023), and the IEEE S&P Distinguished Paper Award (2018).
I obtained my Bachelor of Science from The Pennsylvania State University as a Schreyer Scholar and a member of The Presidential Leadership Academy.
I completed my honors thesis under the supervision of Prof. Peng Liu and Prof. Dinghao Wu as a member of the Penn State Cyber Security Lab.
In 2023, I was an intern at Microsoft Research’s Plural Technology Collaboratory, mentored by Glen Weyl and Madeleine Daepp.
I am also the co-founder of Redoux, a fragrance brand born in NY. We have received the inaugural Glossier Grant in 2021, 2x Architectural Digest Cleverest Awards (2022, 2023), and an Essence Best in Beauty Award 2024.
