Hi, I am a postdoctoral researcher at Columbia University and the New York Genome Center working with Prof. Gamze Gürsoy on building solutions for privacy-preserving sharing and analysis of genomics data. Previously, I completed my PhD in Computer Science at EPFL, where I was advised by Prof. Bryan Ford, and worked as a postdoc with Prof. Vitaly Shmatikov at Cornell Tech. My research interests revolve around topics in Privacy, Genomics, Anonymity, and Computer and Network Security. My past projects include work on reducing metadata leakage in network communication and encrypted data, building robust systems for private information retrieval, improving the security of software-update systems, and scaling and securing smart contracts.
