About

Greetings, I'm a final-year Ph.D. student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. My advisors are Prof. Limin Jia and Prof. Corina Pasareanu.

I apply formal methods tools to construct, test, and verify secure systems. I am particularly interested in compositional verification and bridging security guarantees across different levels of the software development stack. My recent work focuses on trusted execution environments and cryptographic protocols.

Here is my Curriculum Vitae.
