Hi, I am currently a senior AI/ML Security Engineer at Menlo Security. I am currently working on safety and security of browsing agents.

I got my Ph.D. degree from Cylab at Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Professor Lujo Bauer. My research resided in the intersection of security and machine learning. I studied attacks on machine learning to better understand the risks of deploying machine learning in the real world and to be able to better evaluate defenses.

I also worked on guardrial training and automated evaluation pipelines for agent robustness in my previous jobs.

I obtained my B.S. in Computer Engineering from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where I participated in several research projects focusing on fingerprinting attacks in the domains of websites, computer enclaves and cryptocurrency respectively.
