I am currently an Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, jointly appointed in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering and affiliated with the Siebel School of Computing and Data Science.

I obtained my Ph.D. in the Department of Computer Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I had the privilege of working with Prof. Suman Banerjee and Prof. Somesh Jha. Prior to that, I completed my M.S. at the Courant Institute of Computer Science at New York University. I received my B.Eng. in Computer Science and Engineering from the Anna University, Chennai, India.

My research interests lie at the intersection of Security & Privacy and fields such as Systems, Networking, Distributed Computing, and Machine Learning. Specifically, my work focuses on understanding what private information can be inferred through interactions with machine learning models.
