I am an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Barnard College and an Affiliate Faculty in the Department of Computer Science at Columbia University.
My research interests are in cryptography, specifically threshold signatures, multi-party computation, and digital credentials.

I completed my PhD in 2023 at Northeastern University advised by abhi shelat and was a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Data Science Institute (DSI) at Brown University under the mentorship of Anna Lysyanskaya. Before that, I completed my undergraduate studies at The University of Texas at Austin.

In my spare time, I enjoy doodling, as evident by the Alice and Bob characters in my presentations.
