Boston, MA

I am a postdoctoral fellow at Northeastern University, supervised by Alina Oprea. I obtained my PhD from University of Virginia, where I was extremely fortunate to be advised by Professor David Evans. My primary area of research is privacy/security in machine learning at a broad level, with fine-grained topics exploring membership inference, user inference, and LLM-related vulnerabilities.
