Hi, Nice to meet you!

PhD Researcher | Internet Security and Web Measurement

I am currently pursuing a PhD in Computer Science at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, where my research focuses on internet cybercrime, Web3 and internet security, large-scale web measurement, phishing, abuse, and scam ecosystems. During my prior MS in Computer Science at the University of New Orleans, I specialized in machine learning and deep learning for computer vision. I developed robust pipelines for real-time segmentation, object detection, and annotation automation, significantly improving efficiency and accuracy in levee fault detection. My work also included building scalable full-stack pipelines for real-time inference, enhancing dataset diversity with diffusion models, and applying model quantization techniques to improve efficiency. I am a lifelong learner and an enthusiastic collaborator who enjoys turning research ideas into practical, automation-driven security systems.
