I am a third-year PhD student in the formal methods group at Northeastern University where I am advised by Stavros Tripakis. My research interests are in formal methods and distributed systems broadly. Previously I worked as a software engineer at MongoDB on their distributed database replication system. Before that I was an undergraduate at Cornell University, where I studied Mathematics and Computer Science and graduated in 2016. |
