About

I am a graduate student, pursuing my Masters in Cybersecurity Engineering from University of Washington in Bothell. My interests lie in machine learning security with a focus on security in NLP models. Most of my time is spent researching attacks and defenses on NLP based deep learning models. Outside of this, I like to spend my time with my husband, my dog Kiki, reading books and hiking.
