Research Interests

I have worked on static program analysis, data privacy and protection, and conducted empirical and usability-driven studies surrounding such analyses. I am open to working on broader topics in the future.

I’m actively seeking postdoctoral positions starting fall 2026. If you’re interested in collaborating or have opportunities, please feel free to get in touch!
