Human-centered Security for AI and Collaborative Infrastructure.
I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Arizona State University, advised by Gail-Joon Ahn. My research combines human-centered and technical approaches to security and privacy.
My current work spans AI security, human factors in security and privacy, human-AI collaboration, AI governance, and access control for cyber-infrastructures.
