I am a computer scientist working on the foundations of cryptography and the security of practical cryptographic protocols.

Beginning in Fall 2025 I will be a PhD student in computer science at Columbia University, advised by James Bartusek. I completed my masters in computer science at Oregon State University, co-advised by Jiayu Xu and Mike Rosulek. Before that, I received an undergraduate degree in mathematics from Cornell University.

My other interests include cinema, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and science fiction.
