I’m a second-year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Notre Dame, where I work with Professor Taeho Jung as part of the Data Security and Privacy Lab (DSP-Lab).
I graduated from Bradley University in 2024 with a double major in Mathematics and Computer Science.
My research explores the intersection of cryptography and trusted execution environments (TEEs), with a focus on developing more efficient secure and privacy-preserving systems. I work with technologies such as Fully Homomorphic Encryption, Secure Aggregation, and Intel SGX to create practical systems that balance strong security guarantees with real-world performance requirements.
