Currently, I’m pursuing my PhD in Computer Science at The Pennsylvania State University. I am advised by Trent Jaeger.
My research focuses on devising techniques to securely name file system artifacts when multiple file systems are used simultaneously. In the past, I have worked on compilers for shellcode generation, designing security-focused hardware extensions for RISC-V, and in-kernel user-space monitoring via Intel® Processor Trace.
