I am a PhD candidate and researcher at the University of California - San Diego in
the Computer Science and Engineering department. I am broadly
interested in understanding and improving security processes
using data and research science methods.
My current research focuses on using large-scale empirical
analyses to understand and improve security processes within an
enterprise; some examples of my current work are understanding
the effects security training has on outcome, improving
vulnerability remediation processes, and bettering phishing
training.
At UC San Diego, I am advised by Stefan Savage and
Geoff Voelker.
I am currently looking for industry research positions. I
plan to gradute in April 2023 and am looking for positions
starting in summer of 2023. Please reach out!
