I am a CS PhD student at UC San Diego advised by Stefan Savage and Geoff Voelker. My research focuses on improving security and privacy through empirical means, encompassing areas like healthcare security, email security, and more broadly internet measurement. I am a member of the Sysnet, CryptoSec research groups, and the Center for Networked Systems at UCSD. In my spare time, I keep busy with several hobbies. My hometown is Bengaluru, India. If you're looking for my photography page, go here.
