About me
Hello! I’m a Computer Science Ph.D student at the University of California Davis where I am advised by Professor Sam King and Professor Zubair Shafiq. I specialize in security and privacy research with a focus on digital identities. My work involves conducting measurements, employing machine learning techniques, and building systems to discover and deploy innovative vectors for establishing digital identities, including hardware and biometrics.
