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 safety and security of embodied AI systems. See my published works on RL training buffer poisoning (1, 2), malicious RL simulators (3), and attacks against world models to enable VLA and RL poisoning (4).

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.
