Biography
Hello there! I am a Ph.D. student at the University of Wisconsin–Madison studying Computer Sciences. I am advised by Professor Patrick McDaniel. Previously, I have researched the vulnerabilities in the Tor network, and how leveraging trusted execution environments is a practical solution. Additionally, I have researched the acceleration of intrusion detection systems in distributed environments using hyperdimensional computing. Currently, I am exploring secure and private systems for sustainability through the use of trusted platform modules and multi-party computation.
