Machine Learning researcher

About Me

I am currently a Ph.D. student at The Ohio State University, with a focus on research in the domain of security. Specifically, my research aims to ensure the trustworthiness and safety of data.

My primary interest lies in the field of security within Artificial Intelligence, with a focus on securing smart systems against adversaries to ensure their genuine functionality. Additionally, I am committed to enhancing privacy in data analysis, particularly through techniques such as Differential Privacy, to safeguard individuals’ private information.

In my spare time, I have been engaged in learning and developing decentralized applications (DApps) on Ethereum and Solana blockchains.

My overarching goal is for my research and developed applications to have a positive impact on human society.
