Biography

I am a Computer Science PhD student at Purdue University, advised by Associate Professor Antonio Bianchi in the PurSec Lab.

My research focuses on information disclosure vulnerabilities in Android phones, examining how architectural properties at both the hardware and application layers create unintended privacy risks for users. At the hardware level, I study how shared resources such as Neural Processing Units introduce side channels that allow unprivileged apps to infer sensitive runtime behavior. At the application layer, I examine how the mobile app ecosystem, including third-party SDKs and data collection practices, exposes sensitive user data with amplified consequences for at-risk populations.

I've worked four cybersecurity research internships at defense contractors Peraton Labs and Lockheed Martin.
