I completed my M.S. in Electrical Engineering at UC San Diego, where two of my favorite works were SteganoBackdoor and OPBackdoor. Earlier, I was an undergraduate at UW Seattle, where I was a member of UW Formula SAE.

My research broadly focuses on AI safety and security. My work spans frontier model red-teaming, deception, and alignment faking, with a current focus on privacy and security in agentic systems.
