Hello! I’m a third-year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Notre Dame. I work with Professor Taeho Jung in the Data Security and Privacy Lab (DSP-Lab). I received my B.S. in Computer Science and Mathematics from Bradley University in 2024.

My research sits at the intersection of trusted hardware and applied cryptography. I build privacy-preserving systems that combine trusted execution environments, such as Intel SGX and TDX, with cryptographic tools like homomorphic encryption, secure aggregation, and differential privacy. I also study how these systems hold up against side-channel and covert-channel leakage. My current work focuses on user isolation and confidentiality for LLM inference in confidential VMs.
