About Me

I’m a PhD student studying the intersection of Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning and Cyber Security at the Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University. I am fortunate and grateful to be Co-advised by Chris Amato and Alina Oprea.

My current research takes a theoretically principled approach towards understanding the capabilities and limitations of backdoor poisoning attacks against deep reinforcement learning algorithms. See my most recent work on dynamic reward poisoning and adversarial inception attacks.

In addition to my research, I’ve also helped organize the CoCoMARL workshop at RLC in 2024 and 2025.

Prior to joining Northeastern I obtained a B.S. in Computer Science and a B.A. in Mathematics at the University of Connecticut. During that time I researched Adversarial Machine Learning alongside Marten Van Dijk and Kaleel Mahmood.

In my spare time I enjoy rock climbing and film photography.
