I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering at The Ohio State University, advised by Prof. Shaileshh Bojja Venkatakrishnan. My research addresses the scalability and security of distributed systems and financial technologies, with an emphasis on algorithmic analysis, protocol design, analysis of transaction processing, and empirical evaluation.

In 2024, I worked as a research intern at the Stellar Development Foundation, mentored by Dr. Giuliano Losa. During my undergraduate studies, I worked on mobile systems and social networks under the supervision of Prof. Dong Xuan. I received a B.S. in Accounting and a B.S. in Computer Science and Engineering from The Ohio State University in 2020.

I am broadly interested in interdisciplinary research at the intersection of finance and computer science, with a focus on financial information systems and financial infrastructure, digital assets, incentive and risk mechanism design, and data-driven system design. I have passed all four sections (AUD, BEC, FAR, and REG) of the Uniform Certified Public Accountant (CPA) Exam.
