CSE PhD at UMich

About Me

I am a second year PhD student in CSE at the University of Michigan advised by Prof. Ang Chen. My research interests lie broadly at the intersection of systems and security.

Prior to this, I was a researcher at NUS, where I worked with Prof. Ben Leong on internet fairness. I received my Bachelor's in Computer Science from BITS Pilani, India. I completed my Bachelor's thesis at Systems & Networking lab at NUS under Prof. Chan Mun Choon.
