I am a computer security researcher. I am currently working as a postdoc at NIS Lab, UGA. I completed my PhD under the supervision of Dr. Roberto Perdisci. I have broad research interests in web and network security. I often use machine learning and data mining techniques to aid in solving system security problems. Apart from developing defenses, I am also interested in detection methods, forensics and security-related measurements.

I am a postdoc in the department of Computer Science at the University of New Orleans. I obtained my Ph.D in Computer Engineering from the Ajou University in 2017. My research interests lie in computer security, especially in dynamic binary analysis, finding exploitable software bugs, virtualization, and industrial control system security.

I am currently a Master's student studying Computer Science at The University of New Orleans. Most of my work experience has been in various roles in hotel management. I transitioned into the field of Computer Science by enrolling as a post baccalaureate student at The University of New Orleans in the Summer of 2015. I currently work as a Software Engineering Apprentice for GE-Digital New Orleans as well as a Research Assistant for the Computer Science Department at UNO. I enjoy spending time with my family, wedding photography and traveling the world with family and friends. I hope to continue my education after earning my Master's by pursing a Phd in Engineering and Applied Sciences.
