PhD candidate in Computer Science @ University of Georgia

Cybersecurity researcher and engineer focused on building scalable, evidence-driven security systems

My work addresses the growing complexity of cyberattacks by designing systems that enable:

• Secure breach analysis while preserving sensitive data
• Automated artifact collection and analysis to reduce analyst effort
• Verifiable and explainable security outcomes

I build end-to-end pipelines that integrate privacy-preserving techniques with practical security workflows, bridging research and real-world deployment.

🛡️ FA-SEAL (Forensically analyzable encryption for audit logs)

• Enables forensic analysis directly on encrypted logs
• Processes ~30GB/day in ~90 minutes (single core)
• Reveals only 0.68% of sensitive data
• Supports forward and backward attack tracing

🤖 MAPSEC (Multi-Agentic Program for Security and Cyberdefense)

• Contributed to an open-source initiative exploring agent-based AI for autonomous cyber defense
• Focused on building systems for automated threat detection, response, and mitigation using collaborative agents
• Led development of a security automation agent to reduce manual effort in security operations workflows

⚙️ Security Analytics & Detection

• Built 30+ SIEM applications across diverse log sources
• Authored 100+ detection rules mapped to MITRE ATT&CK
• Focused on scalable threat detection and investigation workflows

Threat detection & alert verification • Digital forensics & provenance analysis • Privacy-preserving systems • Security automation • Applied research

Note: Some research projects (e.g., ongoing work on automated security analysis pipelines) are not fully open-sourced but available upon request.
