About me
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC). My research focuses on systems and software security, with an emphasis on systems support for emerging computer architectures and secure software systems design. Recently, I have been exploring innovative ways to address systems and security challenges using large language models (LLMs). My past projects have spanned areas such as virtualization, operating system kernels, and compilers, aimed at building more secure and efficient systems.
