About
RESEARCH INTERESTS
I am a fifth-year Computer Science PhD candidate, 2020 NSF Graduate Research Fellow and Olive B. and Franklin C. Mac Krell Jefferson Fellow attending the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia. I am advised by Dr. Lu Feng and Dr. Dave Evans in the Link Lab. My research is at the intersection of Healthcare, Computer Science and Privacy; I am interested in the development of safe and private Medical Cyber-Physical Systems using the application of Formal Methods. Specifically, I am developing privacy-preserving machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques for clinical decision support systems.

COMPUTER SCIENCE GRADUATE STUDENT GROUP (CSGSG)
From January 2019 - December 2021, I served as the Graduate Program Rep (2021), Chair (2020), and Diversity Rep (2019) of the Computer Science Graduate Student Group (CSGSG), equivalent to a graduate student council, that acts as the liaison between faculty and students. The committee hosts student events to help with students knowing each other, and represents the CS student body at faculty meetings and for departmental decisions.
NSF GRFP APPLICATION MENTOR FOR UVA WRITING LAB
I serve as a NSF GRFP writing lab mentor to help students who are applying for the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. This includes helping with brainstorming, content and flow of ideas, and reviewing and editing application essays.
JEFFERSON JOURNAL EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
In 2019 I was the editor-in-chief for the newly revamped Jefferson Journal of Science and Culture. The interdisciplinary journal serves to provide a venue where scholars who are doing cross-discipline work can publish articles related to specific topics. The journal is part of the Jefferson Scholars Foundation, and I helped set up and manage the journal, from setting up the website, planning out our call for submissions, writing submission guidelines, picking journal themes, and more. We also planned a conference for the accepted submissions to present their work in November 2019. More information about the journal is available via the website: http://journals.sfu.ca/jjsc/index.php/journal/index
WORKSHOPS AT COMPUTERS4KIDS
A fellow CS PhD student and I hosted weekly workshops at Computers4Kids, a local nonprofit serving low income 6th--12th graders that provides free mentoring and access to technology and STEAM projects from fall of 2018 - spring of 2020. Each week we guided students through various projects, such as temperature-changing lamps (using arduinos), building remote control cars from scratch, fun coding projects, cybersecurity and basic hacking camps, and wearable tech. It was such a great experience working with these brilliant students. I hope we inspired them to dive into the wild, ultra-creative world of CS and Engineering!
HEALTH AND PRIVACY POLICY VOLUNTEER CONSULTANT
I am also involved with health policy, as I believe that change can only be affected through multiple facets, and that it is important to collaborate and communicate with other entities (i.e. the government). Specifically, I am working with Dr. Don Detmer and have made multiple trips to Washington DC to meet with Senate staffers and health-related committees (e.g. the US senate HELP committee) to provide input on current privacy and healthcare bills, including the “Protecting Personal Health Data Act,” proposed to the Senate in June 2019.
