My Research.

I study how the modern web and the networks beneath it can be attacked — and how to make them safer. My work centers on web and network security: evaluating real-world systems, finding where they break, and building defenses that can mitigate common and even novel attack vectors.

What I Work On.

My research sits at the intersection of cybersecurity and the systems that run the internet. I'm drawn to problems where careful evaluation reveals something surprising about how deployed systems actually behave under real conditions.

Right now I'm focused on web security and network security — studying browsers, protocols, and the trust assumptions baked into everyday infrastructure. I bring an applied math background to the work, which shapes how I think about modeling threats and reasoning about guarantees.

Where I Research.

Research Assistant
Securitas eX Machina Cybersecurity Research Lab
May 2026 → Now · Advised by Prof. Kostas Solomos

I'm a research assistant at the newly established Securitas eX Machina (SxM) Cybersecurity Research Lab, affiliated with the Michtom School of Computer Science at Brandeis University. Working with my faculty mentor, Professor Kostas Solomos, I contribute to web and network security research projects from measuring how real systems behave to prototyping and evaluating defenses.
