I'm a PhD student advised by Prof. David Wagner at UC Berkeley, where I work on building trustworthy large language models (LLMs).

During my undergraduate studies at Princeton University, I worked with Prof. Prateek Mittal's group, where I focused on protecting computer vision systems against adversarial attacks.

Research

My research interests include analyzing security vulnerabilities in deep learning systems (i.e., large language models, computer vision classifiers, etc). I am also interested in the impact of ML-driven recommendation algorithms on social networks.

A list of my publications can be found below (* denotes equal contribution).

Community

Througout my undergraduate studies at Princeton University, I TAed for various courses. One of my main contributions was developing a set of lecture notes for COS 324, the introductory machine learning course at Princeton.
