Welcome to my website! I’m an Assistant Professor of Cybersecurity at the School of Computing and Analytics at NKU. My journey in academia began with a bachelors in electrical and electronic engineering; during my junior year, I enrolled in Cisco NetAcad and fell in love with computer networking, and eventually ended up getting my associate and professional certifications in networking from Cisco. This is also why I chose future Internet architectures as my research area during my Ph.D. journey at the University of Cincinnati, OH. After finishing my Ph.D., I joined Bradley University, IL, as an assistant professor of computer science. While I loved my time at Bradley, I always missed Cincy and decided to move back in 2024.

I teach undergraduate and graduate courses on computer, web, and network security. I have also taught big data, operating systems, computer networking, sensor and wireless networks, distributed databases, data structures, and electronics.

My research areas include emerging networking architectures, security and privacy implications of AI tools, and applications of large language models (LLMs). I am looking for motivated undergraduate and graduate students to collaborate on research; if you are interested, please check the Research and Contact pages.

I love the greater Cincinnati area; it has felt like home since I first moved here in 2015. I enjoy reading, exploring new cuisines and specialty coffee, and learning about new technologies. I am a big Harry Potter and Game of Thrones (book series) fan. Thanks for stopping by my website!
