I'm a CS PhD student at Louisiana State Univeristy where I work with Prof. Phani Vadrevu. My research focuses on practical, hands-on security, with an emphasis on web security and privacy. I have worked extensively on a range of topics, including social engineering attacks, browser fingerprinting, bot attacks, and bot detection techniques. I build and deploy scalable systems to measure and analyze real-world threats, uncover vulnerabilities, and design effective defense strategies.
