I am thrilled to be starting as a Teaching Assistant Professor at UNC in the Fall. For students enrolled in 311 or 435, the course webpages are currently under construction. Check back soon!

I completed my dissertation under the supervision of Dr. Cynthia Sturton. My research is in hardware security, specifically developing methods for using symbolic execution to find bugs and security vulnerabilities in hardware designs.

I am also very excited about broadening participation in computing, computer science education and pedagogy! If you are a current UNC undergrad and are interested in working together in any of these areas, send me an email!
