Hi, welcome to my website! I’m a research scientist at IBM Research, where I focus on utilizing AI to enhance cloud and software performance, security, and risk analysis. Before joining IBM, I completed my PhD in computer engineering at Boston University. Feel free to explore my research and projects, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or collaborations in mind.
