Hi! I'm a first-year Ph.D student in the Computer Science Department at NYU Tandon. I am co-advised by Prof. Justin Cappos and Prof. Brendan Dolan-Gavitt.

My research interests span across the networks and systems aspect of security. I am interested in vulnerability discovery using techniques like fuzzing and static code analysis. I have the experience of working with particularly Linux Kernel as part of my research.

Previously, I completed my undergraduate studies from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, India in 2021, majoring in the Computer Science and Engineering. I have undertaken various courses in Management and Policy Studies as well. I have spent the summer of 2020 at the University of California, Santa Barbara where I worked with Prof. Vigna and Prof. Kruegel in the SecLab. I was working on the project KANF which is a kernel assisted network fuzzer.

I have had the support of various seniors and mentors who have guided me throughout my undergraduate life to pursue a research career. To continue the legacy, I have decided to devote 1 hour each week in order to help the ambitious undergraduate students who could benefit from my experience. Please read this before sending me an email :)
