About Me

I am a Canadian PhD student and researcher at the Cheriton School of Computer Science, University of Waterloo.

I hold an MSc in Computer Science from McMaster University, where I was supervised by Dr. Douglas Stebila and Dr. Reza Samavi. My Master's thesis can be found here.

Research

Research Interests

My research is focused on creating practical private and secure database systems. I am currently working on projects that use Differential Privacy, and its extensions. I am also interested in many other topics related to privacy and security. In the past I have worked on projects related to cryptography and secure communication protocols.
